A transition-metal-free protocol capable of synthesizing diarylated aniline derivatives is reported. This method could be further employed to prepare aryl alkyl ethers. A wide range of thioethers, anilines, as well as alcohols were tolerated thanks to the mild reaction conditions. The strength of our method was demonstrated by performing a gram-scale reaction (20 mmol) followed by conversion of the nitrile group into synthetically useful aldehyde, ketone, and carboxylic acid.
