Rhodium-catalyzed hydroaminomethylation of various vinyl arenes with anilines has been accomplished using water as an environmentally benign reaction media. This aqueous reaction is facilitated by the water-soluble diphosphine ligands derived from bis(2-(diphenylphosphaneyl)ethyl)amides. The methodology demonstrated a broad scope of substrates and accessed the N-(2-phenylpropyl)anilines in good yields

hydroaminoalkylation of terminal alkenes or styrenes enables a direct and 100 % atom-efficient synthesis of amines and can generally result in the formation of two regioisomers, the branched and the linear product. Herein, we report that high-yielding intermolecular hydroaminoalkylation reactions of styrenes can be achieved with excellent regioselectivities in the presence of the commercially available
