Under indium Lewis acid catalysis, electron-rich five-membered heteroaryl electrophiles fused with/without a benzene ring were found to couple with amines to produce heteroarylamines with broad structural diversity. The heteroarylamine formation proceeds through the cleavage of a heteroaryl?OMe bond by the nucleophilic attack of the amine based on the nucleophilic aromatic substitution (SNAr) reaction. In contrast to the corresponding traditional SNAr amination, the present SNAr-based heteroaryl amination can be performed without relying on both heteroaryl electrophiles with electron-withdrawing groups and nucleophilicity-enhanced metal amides. High compatibility towards the functional groups such as NO2, Br, I, CF3, CN, CO2Et, pyridyl, thiazolyl, C=C, and OH groups was observed, thus showing the practicality and reliability of this method. Mechanistic studies indicated that a carbon?indium bond is likely to be formed on the heteroaryl ring during the process. (Figure presented.).
