• active compounds, including pharmaceutical agents and natural products. In relation to these general targets, we have recently developed a method that enables the construction of aryl-substituted pyrrolidines, featuring the double reduction of cyclic aromatic sulfonamides [1][2][3][4].

Results and Discussion Bicyclic aromatic cyclic sulfonamides 5a and 5b were formed according to the 3-step sequence previously described [1][2][3][10]. Originally, inclusion of triphenylphosphine was

Very few methodologies allow the synthesis of simple

In the absence of a base or additive the corresponding N-arylation products were obtained in moderate to excellent yields.

Furthermore, we expand the substrate scope of this reaction: a variety of amines, amides, imides and sulfonamides with arylboroxine can also participate in this catalytic system to give the corresponding N-arylation products in moderate to excellent yields. To the best of our knowledge, N-arylation of NH

Such coupling was found to give the desired N-arylation products in moderate yields, as shown in Table 5, except for sulfonamide, which afforded the
