Abstract

Free amino group-directed C(sp3)-H functionalization of aliphatic amines is a fundamental challenge in synthetic organic chemistry. Also, the NH2-directed C(sp3)-H functionalization of α-amino acids and their derivatives remains barely explored. With palladium as the catalyst and Ag2O as the additive, we developed the first NH2-directed ?-C(sp3)-H arylation of α-amino esters with diaryliodonium triflates for the construction of synthetically useful ?-aryl-α-amino esters, and the result of the KIE study suggested that the catalytic reaction involved an irreversible C-H cleavage as the rate-determining step.
