Efficient indoles and anilines syntheses employing tert-butyl sulfinamide as ammonia surrogate

tert-Butyl sulfinamide is an ammonia equivalent for the palladium-catalyzed amination of aryl bromides and aryl chlorides. Using these amine derivatives, it has been observed that indoles and anilines with sensitive functional groups can be readily prepared. This surrogate has also been used for the synthesis of indoles from 2-halophenols using palladium catalyzed cross coupling reaction as the key step.
