A strategy for the dehydrative N-benzylation of electron-deficient anilines in water has been developed. The gold(III)/sodium diphenylphosphinobenzene-3-sulfonate (TPPMS) catalyst is highly effective as a Lewis acid for the activation of alcohols and tolerates aerobic conditions. A Hammett study in the reaction of para -substituted benzhydryl alcohols shows negative sigma values, indicating a build-up of cationic charge during the rate-determining sp (3) C-O bond-cleavage step. The inverse kinetic solvent isotope effect (KSIE = 0.6) is consistent with a specific acid catalysis mechanism. This simple protocol can be performed under mild conditions in an atom-economic process without the need for base or other additives, furnishing the electron-deficient N -benzylic anilines in moderate to excellent yields along with water as a sole coproduct.
