Carbon-carbon bond formation by transition metal-catalyzed C–H activation has become an important strategy to fabricate new bonds in a rapid fashion. Despite the pharmacological importance of <i>ortho</i>-arylbenzylamines, however, effective <i>ortho</i>-C–C bond formation from C–H bond activation of free primary and secondary benzylamines using Pd<sup>II</sup> remains an outstanding challenge. Presented herein is a new strategy for constructing <i>ortho</i>-arylated primary and secondary benzylamines mediated by carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2</sub>). The use of CO<sub>2</sub> is critical to allowing this transformation to proceed under milder conditions than previously reported, and that are necessary to furnish free amine products that can be directly used or elaborated without the need for deprotection. In cases where diarylation is possible, a chelate effect is demonstrated to facilitate selective monoarylation.

Phosphonium ylides have shown their synthetic usefulness in important carbon–carbon bond formation processes. Our new strategy employs phosphonium ylides as novel carbyne equivalents and features a new approach for constructing carbon–carbon bonds from alkenes.


The Fischer-Tropsch synthesis of hydrocarbons probably involves an array of carbon-carbon bond-formation processes occurring to unite carbene, carbyne, alkyl, olefin, and related species on a metal surface. In seeking to understand the nature of such processes, model diruthenium complexes have been prepared and the products of their thermolysis and reactions with unsaturated hydrocarbons investigated. The combination at a diruthenium centre of two carbenes, of a carbene and an alkyne, and of a carbyne and an olefin is described, and the possible implications for metal surface processes are emphasized.
