Abstract

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.
