Electrooxidative para-selective C–H/N–H cross-coupling with hydrogen evolution to synthesize triarylamine derivatives

Oxidative C–H/N–H cross-coupling is a convenient method to construct C–N bonds, however this is rarely achieved in a sustainable manner. Here, the authors show an oxidant-free electrochemical C–H/N–H cross-coupling between electron-rich arenes and diarylamines to afford triarylamines with exclusive...
