“…Recently, a variety of allylic alkylations of weakly acidic C(sp) 3 −H bonds have been developed with substrates including 2-methylpyridines, 20 alkyl sulfones, 21 methyl azaarenes, 22 diarylmethanes, 23 toluene derivatives, 24 ful examples developed by us include one-pot aminoalkylations with weakly acidic substrate, such as toluene, 25 allylarenes, 26 azaarylmethylamines, 27 and many others. 28 More recently, these weakly acidic substrates were employed to synthesize heterocycles.…”
