title: Facile regio- and stereoselective carbon-carbon coupling of phenol derivatives with aryl aziridines.
abstract: A chemo-, regio-, and stereoselective direct carbon-carbon coupling of readily available aryl borates with N-protected aryl aziridines provides a method for the synthesis of new 2-(o-hydroxyaryl)-2-aryl ethylamines which can be used, in a novel annulation sequence, to give stereodefined substituted 3-aryl indolines.
