Benzo[4,5]imidazo[1,2-a]quinoxaline derivatives were synthesized from readily accessible 2-(benzoimidazol-1-yl)aniline substrates by an I2-mediated direct sp3 C−H amination reaction. This synthetic strategy does not use transition-metals, is operationally simple and scalable, and...

An iodine-mediated 1,2-aryl migration reaction of primary benzhydryl amines under transition metal-free conditions has been achieved. The crude imines generated by this rearrangement reaction can be directly transformed into various...
