Abstract

Abstract Highly functionalized tertiary amines can be prepared by the oxidative coupling of polyfunctional lithium amidocuprates using chloranil as an oxidant. A high functional group tolerance and insensibility to steric hindrance characterize this general amination reaction. Herein, we report a practical procedure for the preparation of aryl and heteroaryl tertiary amines.
