Abstract Compared with standard N-methylation, benzylation, and alkylation of amines and N-heterocycles, N-arylethylation is significantly more challenging. In this Review the available methods for N-arylethylation are summarized, with a special focus on efficiency, selectivity, availability of the required building blocks, and ecological aspects. Key words Key wordsarylethylation - phenethylation - alkylation - reductive amination - hydroamination - reduction Full Text References References 1 Manallack DT. Prankerd RJ. Yuriev E. Oprea TI.
