Abstract
The use of in situ generated magnesium amides in the presence of a lithium halide dramatically increases the product yield of iron-catalyzed amination reactions. The present method is simple and free of precious and expensive metals and ligands and provides a convenient route to triarylamines, a recurrent core unit in organic electronic materials as well as pharmaceuticals.
