Selectivity control of varied C-H bonds in a complex molecule is a long-standing goal and still a great challenge in C-H activation field. Most often, such selectivity is achieved by the innate reactivity of different C-H bonds. In this context, the classic Mannich reaction of acetophenone derivatives and imines is ascribed to the more reactive C(sp<sup>3</sup>)-H bonds α to the carbonyl, with the much less reactive aromatic C(sp<sup>2</sup>)-H bonds remaining intact. Herein we report an aromati ...[more]
