Double C-H activation strategy for the asymmetric synthesis of C2-symmetric anilines.
Rh(2)(S-DOSP)(4)-catalyzed C-H activation to N,N-dimethylanilines is described. A double C-H activation was possible by using an excess of methyl aryldiazoacetate, and this provided a very direct approach to C(2)-symmetric anilines. [reaction--see text]
