title: Palladium-catalyzed decarboxylative benzylation of diphenylglycinate imines.
abstract: General reaction conditions for the Pd-catalyzed decarboxylative benzylation of benzyl diphenylglycinate imines are described. The overall procedure requires a simple catalyst/ligand combination to form a new Csp(3)-Csp(3) bond. Microwave irradiation greatly accelerated the transformation. Moreover, various heteroaromatic moieties are tolerated in both the imine and ester components.
