Abstract

The use of monodentate ligands that possess a methyl group ortho to the phosphorus center allows the coupling of various aryl and heteroaryl chlorides with various amides in high yield. These ligands can prevent the formation of the κ2-amidate complexes and thereby generate more stable catalysts for the amination of aryl chlorides.
