✦ Synopsis

The boron trifluoride promoted decomposition of a number of substituted phenyl azides in toluene, para-xylene, -meta-xylene or mesitylene at 60°C, leads preferentially to fi-benzylamines or diarylamines depending on both ring substituent effect and nucleophilic character of the solvent.
