title: CBr4-mediated cross-dehydrogenative coupling reaction of amines.
abstract: A novel CBr4-mediated dehydrogenative Povarov/aromatization tandem reaction of glycine derivatives with alkenes, leading to complex quinoline derivatives, and a CBr4-mediated dehydrogenative C-H functionalization of N-aryl tetrahydroisoquinolines with nucleophiles to form C-C and C-P bonds are reported. The reactions were performed under very simple and mild reaction conditions; only CBr4 was used as a promoter. A plausible mechanism involving a radical process is proposed.
