Abstract
A facile Pd-catalyzed methodology provides an efficient synthetic route to biologically relevant arylpiperazines under aerobic conditions. Electron donating and sterically hindered aryl chlorides were aminated to afford very good yields of the desired products. Using 2.5 eq. piperazine as solvent enables an ecofriendly, cost-effective synthesis of these privileged structures.
