ABSTRACT:Ahighly ortho-selective CAr−H olefination of tertiary anilineswithout a directing group was developed. This reaction tolerated varioussubstituted arenes and olefin coupling partners, affording ortho-olefinationproducts in moderate to good yields. Preliminary mechanistic studies showedthat N-Ac-D-Ala, Ag2CO3, andBQ were the key factors for tuning the regioselectivity from para to ortho.Density functional theory was used to achieve a theoretical understanding ofthe ortho selectivity.

Chunchen Yuan etal developed a ligand-enabled palladium catalyzed ortho-selective C−H olefinationof tertiary anilines. This method provides an efficient approach to access olefinatedtertiary anilines with excellent ortho selectivity. Preliminary mechanisticstudies indicated that N-Ac-D-Ala, Ag2CO3, and BQ were the key factors inrealizing the ortho-selective olefination of tertiary anilines reported here.DFT calculations revealed a weak stabilization interaction between thesubstrate and ligands to achieve ortho-selective C−H activation.
