Abstract

Various anilines are prepared by treatment of functionalized arylboronic acids with H2N-OSO3H (HSA) as a common, inexpensive source of electrophilic nitrogen, under basic aqueous conditions. Electron-rich substrates are found to be the most reactive by this method, whereas highly electron-deficient substrates must be converted at reflux. Sterically hindered substrates appear to be equally effective compared to unhindered ones.
