Abstract

A method for the Pd-catalyzed N-arylation of both aryl and alkyl amidines with a wide range of aryl bromides, chlorides, and triflates proceeds in short reaction times and with excellent selectivity for monoarylation. A one-pot synthesis of quinazoline derivatives via Pd-catalyzed N-arylation followed by addition of an aldehyde to the crude reaction mixture is also demonstrated.
