Abstract
A wide range of alkoxycarbonyl protected benzylic amines have been synthesi zed in a three component reaction involving a carbamate an aldehyde and an aromatic substrate, This reaction proceeds through electrophilic substituti on of the aromatic compound by a N-carbamoyl iminium which is generated in situ by condensation of the carbamate with the aldehyde.
