Abstract

Arylation of olefinic substrates occurs when arylamines are treated with alkyl nitrites and copper (I1) halides in acetonitrile or acetone solutions that contain the olefin. The corresponding 8-aryl-a-halo derivatives are formed in high yields by this direct procedure. Results from direct arylation reactions of representative arylamines with acrylonitrile and styrene in the presence of copper (I1) chloride are reported; isolated yields of arylation ...
