Xanthates derived from open chain or cyclic N-chloromethylanllldes are capable of adding to various unactlvated alkenes to give adducts which, In suitable cases, can be made to undergo ring closure onto the aromatic ring. This flexible arylamlnomethylatlon of alkenes allows the rapid synthesis of open chain or polycycllc aniline derivatives. © 2009 American Chemical Society.
