Rh-N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) complex-catalyzed addition of phenylboronic acid to N-sulfonyl and N-phosphinoyl aldimines
Abstract
Rh-N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) complexes were generated in situ from imidazolium salts, [RhCl(cod)](2) and t-BuOK in dioxane. In the presence of a catalytic amount of Rh-NHC complexes, the addition reaction of phenylboronic acid to N-sulfonylarylimines and N-phosphinyolarylimines gave the corresponding amines in high yields.
