Abstract

A convenient method for N-arylethylation of aromatic amines and heterocycles under mild reductive conditions was developed using (2-methoxyvinyl)(hetero)arenes as building blocks and triethylsilane/trifluoroacetic acid as reducing agent. This protocol is compatible with numerous functional groups, and aliphatic amines are inert due to protonation.
