Over the past two decades, considerable attention has been given to the development of new ligands for the palladium-catalyzed arylation of amines and related NH-containing substrates (i.e., Buchwald-Hartwig amination). The generation of structurally diverse ligands, by research groups in both academia and industry, has facilitated the accommodation of sterically and electronically divergent substrates including ammonia, hydrazine, amines, amides, and NH heterocycles. Despite these achievements, problems with catalyst generality persist and access to multiple ligands is necessary to accommodate all of these NH-containing substrates. In our quest to address this significant limitation we identified the BippyPhos/[Pd(cinnamyl)Cl]2 catalyst system as being capable of catalyzing the amination of a variety of functionalized (hetero)aryl chlorides, as well as bromides and tosylates, at moderate to low catalyst loadings. The successful transformations described herein include primary and secondary amines, NH heterocycles, amides, ammonia and hydrazine, thus demonstrating the largest scope in the NH-containing coupling partner reported for a single Pd/ligand catalyst system. We also established BippyPhos/ [Pd(cinnamyl)Cl]2 as exhibiting the broadest demonstrated substrate scope for metal-catalyzed cross-coupling of (hetero)aryl chlorides with NH indoles. Furthermore, the remarkable ability of BippyPhos/[Pd(cinnamyl)Cl] 2 to catalyze both the selective monoarylation of ammonia and the N-arylation of indoles was exploited in the development of a new one-pot, two-step synthesis of N-aryl heterocycles from ammonia, ortho- alkynylhalo(hetero)arenes and (hetero) aryl halides through tandem N-arylation/hydroamination reactions. Although the scope in the NH-containing coupling partner is broad, BippyPhos/[Pd(cinnamyl)Cl]2 also displays a marked selectivity profile that was exploited in the chemoselective monoarylation of substrates featuring two chemically distinct NH-containing moieties.

We report a diverse demonstration of synthetically useful chemoselectivity in the synthesis of di-, tri-, and tetraamines (62 examples) by use of Buchwald-Hartwig amination employing a single catalyst system ([Pd(cinnamyl)Cl]2/L1; L1 = N-(2-(di(1-adamantyl)phosphino)phenyl) morpholine, Mor-DalPhos). Competition reactions established the following relative preference of this catalyst system for amine coupling partners: linear primary alkylamines and imines > unhindered electron-rich primary anilines, primary hydrazones, N,N-dialkylhydrazines, and cyclic primary alkylamines > unhindered electron-deficient primary anilines, α-branched acyclic primary alkylamines, hindered electron-rich primary anilines ? cyclic and acyclic secondary dialkylamines, secondary alkyl/aryl and diarylamines, α,α-branched primary alkylamines, and primary amides. The new isomeric ligand N-(4-(di(1-adamantyl)phosphino)phenyl)morpholine (p-Mor-DalPhos, L2) was prepared in 63% yield and was crystallographically characterized; the [Pd(cinnamyl)Cl]2/L2 catalyst system exhibited divergent reactivity. Application of the reactivity trends established for [Pd(cinnamyl)Cl] 2/L1 toward the chemoselective synthesis of di-, tri-, and tetraamines was achieved. Preferential arylation was observed at the primary alkylamine position within 2-(4-aminophenyl)ethylamine with [Pd(cinnamyl)Cl] 2/L1 and 4-chlorotoluene (affording 5a); the alternative regioisomer (5a′) was obtained when using [Pd(cinnamyl)Cl]2/L2. These observations are in keeping with coordination chemistry studies, whereby binding of 2-(4-aminophenyl)ethylamine to the in situ generated [(L1)Pd(p-tolyl)] + fragment occurred via the primary amine moiety, affording the crystallographically characterized adduct [(L1)Pd(p-tolyl)(NH2CH 2CH2(4-C6H4NH2)] +OTf- (7) in 72% yield.
