Selective C-H functionalization of electron-deficient aromatics by carbamoylsilanes: synthesis of aromatic carbinolamines or amides

Selective C-H functionalization of electron-deficient aromatics with various carbamoylsilanes is developed under catalysts-free conditions. These transformations provide a facile and efficient method for synthesizing some tertiary or secondary aromatic carbinolamines and amides in good yields. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
