A Chan-Lam coupling using methylboronic acid enables a selective monomethylation
of anilines. An incubation period of the substrate with the copper reagent is
needed before addition of the methylboronic acid. N-Methylanilines are
synthesized in good yields.

A simple copper-promoted N-monoalkylation of anilines that utilizes alkyl
boronic acids as the alkylating partner is carried out in refluxing dioxane and
allows a number of structurally and electronically diverse anilines to be
functionalized in a single step. A broad study was carried out to demonstrate
the utility of this new methodology for the preparation of phenethylanilines.

In the presence of N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylethylenediamine (TMEDA) as an
additive, easily prepared and handled N-chloroamines react with aryl
Grignard reagents to give various arylamines in good to excellent yields.
Functional groups such as ester and nitrile are tolerated.

A rhodium-catalyzed amination reaction of aryl halides with amines takes place
in the presence of a N-heterocyclic carbene ligand. The active metal
species responsible for the reaction progress was identified. This convenient
and mild procedure for Rh-catalyzed N-arylation displays a wide range of
substrate scope and high degree of functional group tolerance.

The sequential combination of Ti-catalyzed hydroamination of alkynes followed
by the Ti-catalyzed hydrosilylation of the intermediate imines is an efficient
one-pot process for the conversion of alkynes and primary amines into secondary
amines.

1,2,3-triazole-bound cationic Au(I) catalysts possess much better thermal
stability than literature-reported Au catalysts, including IPrAu•NTf2.
By application of these catalysts, challenging intermolecular hydroaminations
were achieved with less-reactive internal alkynes and unprotected aliphatic
amines, giving excellent yields with low catalyst loading.

Air- and moisture-stable Ni(II)-(σ-aryl) complexes, associated with N-heterocyclic
carbene ligands, produce a catalytically active Ni(0) species in situ for an
efficient amination of aryl chlorides with anilines and secondary cyclic amines

A rhodium-catalyzed regioselective amination of secondary allylic
trichloroacetimidates with unactivated aromatic amines gives N-arylamines
in high yields and regioselectivity, favoring the branched amination products.
The presence of the trichloroacetimidate leaving group was found to be critical
for successful regioselective amination reactions with unactivated aromatic
amines.
