Abstract

A unified strategy for cobalt-catalyzed ortho-C-H bond alkynylation of benzylamines is reported. Simple, commercially available CoBr2 was used as a cobalt source. The developed alkynylation strategy is robust and efficient and has a broad substrate scope including 1 degrees, 2 degrees, and 3 degrees benzylamines. The mechanistic study shows that C-H bond cleavage is reversible, and the kinetic study illustrates that the rate of reaction depends solely on the catalyst.
