摘要:
The heterobimetallic complex [Ir(COD)(SnCl3)Cl(mu-Cl)](2) catalyzes the aza-Friedel Crafts reaction of 1,3,5-trimethoxybenzene, as well as substituted indoles with N-sulfonyl aldimines leading to the formation of diarylamines and triarylmethanes in good yields. The symmetrical triarylmethanes were also obtained from diarylamines and suitable nucleophiles via simultaneous cleavage of sp(3) C-N bond and elimination of 1,3,5-trimethoxybenzene.
