Ring-alkylated primary, secondary and tertiary anilines have been ethylated with ethylene at benzylic positions in a simple and inexpensive one-pot procedure which is mediated by the use of the superbase system nBuLi/LiK(OCH2CH2NMe2)2 in the presence of Mg(OCH2CH2OEt)2. Primary and secondary anilines are ethylated readily at ortho-benzylic positions but with difficulty or not at all at other positions. Tertiary anilines are ethylated at all positions. Mono- or diethylation occurs depending on the steric constraints present. Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 2007.
