Abstract
Catalytic addition reactions of very weakly acidic nonactivated alkylarenes such as toluene and its derivatives were developed by using a strongly basic mixed catalyst system under mild reaction conditions. The addition reactions with imines and alkenes proceeded smoothly under proton-transfer conditions to afford the desired products in good to high yields, and high levels of regio- and stereoselectivity were achieved. It was also revealed that the asymmetric addition reaction of an alkylarene was possible.
