Investigation on the coupling reactions of aryltriflates with aromatic amines: Selection of the metal catalyst

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0960-894X(97)00315-6

A simple and effective coupling reaction of aryl triflates with aniline derivatives in the presence of palladium catalyst is described, which appears to be a general and useful protocol for the preparation of functionalized arylamines starting from phenols.
