A simple and efficient methodology for the synthesis of large sterically hindered triarylamines in a single step was developed. A direct ,-diarylation of 8-aminoquinoline with sterically hindered bromides, making use of inexpensive nickel as a catalyst and simple sodium salt as a base, gives the products in good to excellent yields. Various bromides and substituted 8-aminoquinolines are tolerated.

Article Synopsis
  • The reaction involves trifluoroacetyl amides reacting with Grignard reagents, replacing the CF group with various alkyl or aryl groups.
  • A range of functional groups and halogens like F, Cl, and Br are compatible in this process.
  • The reaction likely goes through an isocyanate intermediate or a combination of alkoxide and amide intermediates.
