A direct assembly of secondary benzylureas and related amine derivatives via copper-catalyzed carboamination of styrenes with potassium alkyltrifluoroborates and ureas, anilines, or an amide is reported. Terminal and 1,2-disubstituted alkenes, as well as dienes, participate in this three-component coupling reaction. The reaction mechanism likely involves the addition of an alkyl radical to the styrene, followed by metal-mediated oxidative coupling of the resulting benzylic radical with the amine ...[more]
