Abstract

Kinetics-based mechanistic analysis and rational design have led to the development of two biarylphosphine ligands that allow a Pd-catalyzed arylation of very hindered α,α,α-trisubstituted primary amines to proceed with excellent efficiency. The process enabled the coupling of a wide range of functionalized aryl and heteroaryl halides under mild conditions.
