Abstract

The Chan-Lam reaction remains a highly utilized transformation for C-N bond formation. However, anilines remain problematic substrates due to their lower nucleophilicity. To address this problem, we developed an electrochemically mediated Chan-Lam coupling of aryl boronic acids and amines utilizing a dual copper anode/cathode system. The mild conditions identified have enabled the preparation of a wide range of functionalized biarylanilines in good yields and chemoselectivities.
