The β-arylethylamine motif is prevalent in pharmaceutical molecules due to its distinctive biological activity and synthetic versatility (Scheme 1a). Conventional synthetic approaches include reductive amination, aminoarylation and hydroamination. An alternative strategy is radicalmediated hydroarylation which has emerged as a potentially efficient strategy for accessing a variety of -arylethylamines under mild conditions. Markovnikov-selective radical hydroarylation may occur via catalytic hydrogen-atom-transfer from a high-valent, first-row transition metal (MHAT catalysis) either using a dual-catalytic, cross-coupling strategy or via radical cycloisomerisation onto the ortho-position of a pendant arene, followed by subsequent rearomatization (Scheme 1b). In the second case, (hetero-)cyclic compounds are formed, precluding this as a strategy for linear arylethylamine synthesis.
