Molecules, Vol. 23, Pages 1449: Cobalt-Catalyzed (Hetero)arylation of Saturated Cyclic Amines with Grignard Reagents (Molecules)

(Hetero)aryl substituted saturated cyclic amines are ubiquitous scaffolds in biologically active molecules. Metal-catalyzed cross-couplings between halogeno N-heterocycles and organometallic species are efficient and modular reactions to access these attractive scaffolds. An overview of our work concerning the cobalt-catalyzed arylation of iodo-substituted cyclic amines is presented.
