  • Synthesis of Hindered Anilines: Three-Component Coupling of Arylboronic Acids, tert-Butyl Nitrite, and Alkyl Bromides

    Organic Letters

    The synthesis of sterically hindered amines has been a significant challenge in organic chemistry. Herein, we report a modular, three-component coupling that constructs two carbon–nitrogen bonds including a sterically hindered Csp3–N bond using commercially available materials. This process uses an earth-abundant copper catalyst and mild reaction conditions, allowing access to a variety of complex aromatic amines.
