Diarylmethylamines are key intermediates and products in the pharmaceutical industry. Herein we disclose a novel method toward the synthesis of these important compounds via CH functionalization. Presented is a reversible deprotonation of N-Boc benzylalkylamines at the benzylic CH with in situ arylation by a NiXantPhos-based palladium catalyst (50-93 % yield, 29 examples). The method is also successful with N-Boc-tetrahydroisoquinolines. The advantages of this method are it avoids strong bases ...[more]
