Catalytic S_NAr reaction of fluoroarenes possessing no electron-withdrawing group(s) with cyclic amines was achieved using a readily accessible Ru catalyst, which was prepared from [Ru(benzene)Cl₂] ₂, AgOTf, and P(p-FC₆H₄)₃. The coexistence of molecular sieves MS4A realized high conversion and various substituted aryl amines were obtained in good to high yields. Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart New York.
