Rhodium-catalyzed Electrophilic Amination of Arylboronic Acids with Secondary Hydroxylamines
A rhodium(III)-catalyzed electrophilic amination of arylboronic acids with secondary hydroxylamines has been developed. The rhodium catalysis is compatible with heteroarylboronic acids as well as acyl and alkoxycarbonyl protecting groups on the nitrogen of O-acylhydroxylamines, and the corresponding secondary anilines are obtained in good to excellent yields.
