Room-Temperature Palladium-Catalyzed Amination of Aryl Bromides and Chlorides and Extended Scope of Aromatic C-N Bond Formation with a Commercial Ligand

J Org Chem. 1999 Jul 23;64(15):5575-5580. doi: 10.1021/jo990408i.

Abstract

The reactions of aryl bromides with amines occurs at room temperature when using Pd(0) and P(t-Bu)(3) in a 1:1 ratio, and the reactions of aryl chlorides occur at room temperature or 70 degrees C. The arylation of indoles and the new arylation of carbamates also occur when using P(t-Bu)(3) as ligand.
