Nickel-catalysed couplings of aryl chlorides with secondary amines and piperazines

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0040-4020(99)00788-7

The reaction of aryl chlorides with secondary amines or piperazines in the presence of an in situ generated liganded nickel catalyst gives arylamines in good yields. Our process provides a mild, convenient and cheap method of arylamination starting from readily available substrates.
