Abstract

In a biaryl coupling reaction of N-bromobenzylnaphthylamine using Pd reagent, the intramolecular coordination of the benzylamino group to Pd causes the regioselective C-H activation at the peri-position to the amine group on the naphthalene ring to produce a new skeletal compound, naphthobenzazepine, in good to excellent yield.
