Abstract An unexpected reaction between benzynes and isocyanates to generate aromatic amines has been developed under transition-metal-free conditions. The in situ prepared anions formed through cleavage of the N C bond in isocyanates, reacted with aryne precursors to afford various aniline derivatives in moderate to excellent yield and tolerated various substituents on the o-silyl aryl triflate and the isocyanate.
