Abstract

A palladium-catalyzed remote 1,n-arylamination (from 1,3- to 1,11-arylamination) of unactivated terminal alkenes with aryl iodides and arylamines has been realized. This three-component reaction proceeded via Pd-catalyzed Heck arylation, alkene isomerization, and aza-Michael addition, exhibiting good regio- and chemoselectivity, and wide substrate scope. Preliminary mechanistic studies indicated that the in situ generated ortho/para-quinone methide intermediates served as the driving force for the alkene isomerization and promoted the rearomatization upon nucleophilic amination.
