Radical arylaminomethylation of unactivated alkenes.
Xanthates derived from open chain or cyclic N-chloromethylanilides are capable of adding to various unactivated alkenes to give adducts which, in suitable cases, can be made to undergo ring closure onto the aromatic ring. This flexible arylaminomethylation of alkenes allows the rapid synthesis of open chain or polycyclic aniline derivatives.
