A new tandem reaction of benzyne: one-pot synthesis of aryl amines containing anthracene.
[reaction: see text] The reaction of benzyne with N-substituted imidazoles affords a novel way to prepare arylamines containing anthracene under very mild conditions. This transformation is assumed to proceed via a tandem reaction involving a Diels-Alder reaction and an intermolecular nucleophilic coupling reaction.
