Abstract
A unique combination of organic catalysts promotes the transfer of electrons and hydrogen atoms in a mild, modular, and practical direct hydroarylation of vinyl amine derivatives with a wide range of aryl halides (including aryl chlorides). This general and highly chemoselective protocol delivers a broad range of arylethylamine products with complete regiocontrol.
