Abstract

An efficient functionalization of ortho-C(sp 2)-H bonds of picolinamide (PA)-protected benzylamine substrates with a range of vinyl iodides as well as acetylenic bromide is reported. ortho-Phenyl benzoic acid (oPBA) acts as an effective promoter in this reaction system. This method provides a practical strategy to access highly functionalized benzylamine compounds for organic synthesis.
