Arylation and Alkylation of Olefins by Arylamines or Hydrazines via Carbon-Nitrogen Bond Cleavage in the Presence of Palladium(II) Salts

Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/jo01300a018

Arylamines (ArNH2) have been found to function as arylating agents by way of C-N bond cleavage to give aryl-substituted olefins when treated with palladium salts and acetic acid.The reactivity of various amines and olefins has been investigated.Hydrazines such as phenylhydrazine and methylhydrazine are also able to act as arylating and alkylating agents, respectively.The addition of tert-butyl nitrite greatly increases the yields.
