Transition Metal Free C–N Bond Forming Dearomatizations and Aryl C–H Aminations by in Situ Release of a Hydroxylamine-Based Aminating Agent

We
outline a simple protocol that accesses directly unprotected
secondary amines by intramolecular C–N bond forming dearomatization
or aryl C–H amination. The method is dependent on the generation
of a potent electrophilic aminating agent released by in situ deprotection
of O-Ts activated N-Boc hydroxylamines.
