Come full circle: A method for the nucleophilic amination of methoxy arenes was established by using sodium hydride (NaH) in the presence of lithium iodide (LiI). This method offers an efficient route to benzannulated nitrogen heterocycles. Mechanistic studies showed that the reaction proceeds through an unusual concerted nucleophilicaromaticsubstitution.

A novel and easily accessible MN(SiMe3)2 (M = Li or Na)/Cs2CO3 co-catalyzed benzylation of in situ generated N-(trimethylsilyl) aldimines with toluene derivatives has been successfully developed. The catalyst exhibits high chemoselectivity for deprotonation of toluenes at the benzylic position. The utility of this system is exemplified by the one-pot synthesis of a diverse array of bioactive 1,2-diarylethylamines

Regiochemistry on photoamination of stilbene derivatives with ammonia via electron transfer
The regiochemistry of photoamination of 1,2-diarylethene (1) with ammonia in the presence of p-dicyanobenzene (DCNB) has been investigated. The photoamination of stilbene and p,p'-dimethoxystilbene gave 1-amino-1,2-diphenylethane and 1-amino-1,2-bis(p-methoxyphenyl)ethane, respectively. The photoamination of unsymmetric 1-aryl-2-phenylethene having an alkoxy group on the para position occurred selectively to give 1-amino-2-aryl-1-phenylethane. On the other hand, the photoamination of 1-aryl-2-phenylethene having a methyl and chloro group on the para position or methoxy group on the meta and ortho positions gave both 1-amino-2-aryl-1-phenylethane and 1-amino-1-aryl-2-phenylethane. The regiochemistry is related with the distribution of positive charge in the cation radicals of 1 generated from photochemical electron transfer to DCNB.

The present invention relates to an improved asymmetric synthesis of alpha-branched amines (hereafter referred to as the compound) and relative chiral amines (1″) or its pharmaceutically acceptable salt and derivatives. The process comprises an unusual substrate specific regioselective ortho lithiation of substituted arene compounds, followed by its highly diastereoselective addition to N-tert-butanesulfinylimines resulting in the selective formation of alpha-branched sulfinyl amine and chiral amine; which on subsequently removing the sulfinyl group provides corresponding alpha-branched amines or relative chiral amines (1″).
