protocol for the directarylation of benzylic amines was developed. Employing 3-substituted pyridines as directing groups, arylation was achieved usingarylbromides or aryl iodides as the aryl source. Potassium pivalate proved to be an important additive in this transformation. The arylation took place selectively in the benzylic sp3 position, and no significant competitive sp2arylation was observed
