Abstract:
We report herein a highly efficient Pd-catalyzed amination by "bulky-yet-flexible" Pd-PEPPSI-IPentAn complexes. The relationship between the N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) structure and catalytic properties was discussed. Sterically hindered (hetero)aryl chlorides and a variety of aliphatic and aromatic amines can be applied in this cross-coupling, which smoothly proceeded to provide desired products. The operationally simple protocol highlights the rapid access to CAr-N bond formation under mild conditions without the exclusion of air and moisture.
