A catalytic intermolecular amination of nonactivated tertiary C(sp3)-H bonds (BDE of 96 kcal·mol-1) is reported for substrates displaying an activated benzylic site (BDE of 85 kcal·mol-1). The tertiary C(sp3)-H bond is selectively functionalized to afford α,α,α-Trisubstituted amides in high yields. This unusual site-selectivity results from the synergistic combination of Rh2(S-Tfpttl)4, a rhodium(II) complex with a well-defined catalytic pocket, with tert-butylphenol sulfamate (TBPhsNH2), which leads to a discriminating rhodium-bound nitrene species under mild oxidative conditions. This catalytic system is very robust, and the reaction was performed on a 50 mmol scale with only 0.01 mol % of catalyst. The TBPhs group can be removed under mild conditions to afford the corresponding NH-free amines.

In this study, nickel-catalyzed coupling reactions between arylhalides and tert-alkyl Grignard reagents were developed. Our original bicyclic NHC ligands reduced the formation of isomerized products, and we found that NMP as a co-solvent suppressed the reduction process. Under the optimal conditions we developed, the catalyst loading was lowered to 0.5?mol?%, and catalyst loading using ortho-substituted aryl bromides was also applicable at the level of 2.0?mol?%.
