By employing Pd(OAc)2 and (t-Bu)2PNP(i-BuNCH2CH2)3N as ligand, a broad range of aryl bromides and chlorides possessing base-sensitive substituents provide coupling products with bulky aryl amines in good to excellent yields. An efficient coupling of vinyl bromides with a variety of amines produces imines and enamines at room temperature.

Michael adducts are provided by a reaction of alkylidene malonates with enamines, which are generated from vinyl bromides and pyrrolidine by a prior palladium-catalysed C-N bond formation.
