An efficient method has been developed for the synthesis of seven-membered biaryl lactams involving Pd-catalyzed, native amine-directed, ortho-arylation of benzylamines followed by in situ lactamization. This cascade sequence is enabled by the use of 2-iodobenzoates, which facilitates C-H arylation from the free amine under conditions that typically require an improved directing group approach. This reaction is characterized by a broad substrate scope with good functional group tolerance. The need for an ester versus carboxylic acid-functionalized coupling partner is also explored, as is the potential for synthesizing eight-membered biaryl lactams. Various applications are also investigated, including access to the aza-brassinolide core.

An unprecedented electrochemical aromatic C-H oxygenation reaction for the synthesis of 4H-1,3-benzoxazines from easily available N-benzylamides is reported. These oxidative cyclization reactions proceed in a transition metal- and oxidizing reagent-free fashion and produce H2 as only theoretical byproduct. Adapting the C-H oxygenation reaction in an electrochemical microreactor has been demonstrated.
Access to "friedel-Crafts-Restricted" tert -alkyl aromatics by activation/methylation of tertiary benzylic alcohols

experimental part, p. 3127 - 3133 (2012/05/20)
Herein we describe a two-step protocol to prepare m-tert-alkylbenzenes. The appropriate tertiary benzylic alcohols are activated with SOCl2 or concentrated HCl and then treated with trimethylaluminum, affording the desired products in 68-97% yields (22 examples). This reaction sequence is successful in the presence of a variety of functional groups, including acid-sensitive and Lewis-basic groups. In addition to t-Bu groups, 1,1-dimethylpropyl and 1-ethyl-1-methylpropyl groups can also be installed using this method.
