Abstract
A simple copper-promoted N-monoalkylation of anilines that utilizes alkyl boronic acids as the alkylating partner is carried out in refluxing dioxane and allows a number of structurally and electronically diverse anilines to be functionalized in a single step. A broad study was carried out to demonstrate the utility of this new methodology for the preparation of phenethylanilines.
