Unexpected catalytic and stereoselective hydroarylation of norbornene during the attempted rhodium-catalysed hydroamination of norbornene with aniline or diphenylamine

Abstract
The reaction of aniline (or diphenylamine) with norbornene in the presence of a catalytic system generated from [{Rh(PEt3)2Cl}2] and PhNHLi (or Ph2NLi) results in hydroarylation to yield 2-(2-aminophenyl)norbornane [or 2-(2-phenylaminophenyl)norbornane].
