Abstract
A gold(III) chloride catalyzed direct amination of arenes with azodicarboxylates allows the conversion of a broad range of substrates, including electron-deficient arenes, under mild conditions. This reaction provides an important approach for the synthesis of heterocyclic compounds in pharmaceutical and chemical industries.
