A new approach for the fully chemoselective α-arylation of amides is presented. By means of electrophilic amide activation, aryl groups can be regioselectively introduced α- to amides, even in the presence of esters and alkyl ketones. Mechanistic studies reveal key reaction intermediates and emphasize a remarkably subtle base effect in this transformation. Arylating me softly: A new approach for the fully chemoselective α-arylation of amides has been developed. When electrophilic amide activation is employed, aryl groups can be regioselectively introduced in the position α to the amide, and that even in the presence of esters or alkyl ketones. Mechanistic studies emphasize a remarkably subtle base effect in this transformation.
