- 10.3762/bjoc.10.316 Abstract Nucleophilic trapping of iminium salts generated via oxidative functionalisation of tertiary amines is well established with stabilised carbon nucleophiles. The few reports of organometallic additions have limited scope of substrate and organometallic nucleophile. We report a
- construct THIQs using green technologies, in mild conditions and with high atom efficiencies. Catalytic oxidative functionalisation of the C–H bond α- to the amine function is one such methodology. Iminium salts generated in this way can be intercepted by a nucleophile in a one-pot reaction (Scheme 1
- catalysts are used in combination with various stoichiometric oxidants including oxygen [16][21]. However, nucleophilic trappings of resultant iminium salts are typically exemplified with highly stabilised carbon nucleophiles such as cyanides, nitronates, enolate equivalents and heterocycles (Scheme 1) [14

- (Scheme 3a). [21] This is one potential side-reaction, but brown colored side-products can also derive from electrophilic aromatic alkylations of arylamine units by iminium salts from formaldehyde or protonated DADs (as in the bakelite reaction). Such side-reactions will be most prominent with DADs from
