A straightforward and new approach has been developed for the α‐functionalization of tertiary amines via sequential oxidative hydoxylation and cross‐dehydrogenative coupling (CDC) of arylboronic acids with tertiary amines to afford α‐phenolated tertiary amines. The results demonstrate an easy arylation of C(sp³)−H bond in the presence of an inexpensive and readily available nickel metal salt.

镍催化的异丙基羟基化和随后的芳硼酸与叔胺的交叉脱氢偶联：轻松获得α-酚化叔胺

通过芳基硼酸与叔胺的顺序氧化羟基化和交叉脱氢偶联（CDC），开发了一种简单，新颖的方法，用于叔胺的α-官能化，从而制得α-酚化叔胺。结果表明，在存在廉价且易于获得的镍金属盐的情况下，C（sp ³）-H键易于芳基化。
