Mn-Catalyzed oxidative amination of benzylic C(sp3)–H bonds with nitriles is disclosed, which enables the synthesis of a broad range of secondary amides in moderate to excellent yields under mild conditions. The interaction between Mn(III) and DDQ facilitates the oxidation and makes it highlyefficient and selective.

Bis‐sulfamyl imines are shown to be potentially ideal substrates for rhodium‐catalysed asymmetricadditions of arylboron nucleophiles as they show: (i) near perfect enantioselectivities (11 examples, 98–99+% ee), (ii) good to excellent diastereoselectivities (10–32:1 rac:meso), and (iii) high functional group tolerance in removal of the low molecular weight protecting group via mild heating in aqueous

The direct benzylicarylation of N-benzylxanthone imine with aryl chloride proceeds under palladium catalysis, yielding the corresponding coupling product. The product is readily transformed to benzhydrylamine. Taking into consideration that the imine is readily available from benzylic amine, the overall transformation represents a formal cross-coupling reaction of aryl halide with alpha-aminobenzyl
