Cobalt-catalyzed directed alkylation of arenes with primary and secondary alkyl halides

A cobalt–N-heterocyclic carbene catalyst allows ortho-alkylation of aromatic imines with unactivated primary and secondary alkyl chlorides and bromides under room-temperature conditions. The scope of the reaction encompasses or complements that of cobalt-catalyzed ortho-alkylation reactions with ole...
