A mild, modular, and practical catalytic system for the synthesis of the highly privileged phenethylamine pharmacophore is reported. Using a unique combination of organic catalysts to promote the transfer of electrons and hydrogen atoms, this system performs direct hydroarylation of vinyl amine derivatives with a wide range of aryl halides (including aryl chlorides). This general and highly chemoselective protocol delivers a broad range of arylethylamine products with complete regiocontrol. The utility of this process is highlighted by its scalability and the modular synthesis of an array of bioactive small molecules.
