Direct Conversion of Aryl Iodides Into Benzylamines by Aminomethylation: Reaction Scope, Mechanistic Studies, and Applications

Despite the high utility and value of benzylamines and their derivatives, their synthesis is hindered by a limited substrate availability and nonreusable transition‐metal catalysts. To that end, this study develops an aminomethylation strategy using aryl iodides and formamides while examining the substrate scope and un...
