Popis: An exceptionally general electrophilic amination, which directly transforms commercially available nitroarenes into alkylated aromatic aminoboranes with zinc organyl compounds was developed. The reaction starts with a two-step partial reduction of the nitro group to a nitrenoid, which is used in situ as the electrophilic amination reagent. To facilitate isolation, the resulting air- and moisture-sensitive aminoboranes were reacted with a range of electrophiles. The method not only represents a direct transformation of nitro compounds into electrophilic amination reagents but also provides an elegant alternative to dehydrocoupling methods for the generation of aminoboranes.
