A cobalt-catalyzed, N–H imine-directed hydroarylation reaction of styrenes is reported. A variety of diaryl and aryl alkyl N–H imines participated in the reaction to afford the corresponding branched adducts in good yield and regioselectivity. Interestingly, unsymmetrical diaryl imines with modest e...
