Abstract

Aromatic amines play a prominent role as biologically active compounds and as industrial chemicals.[1] Hence, the development of new efficient syntheses is of enormous interest. Atom-economical methods such as Lewis acid catalyzed amination,[2] intermolecular hydroaminations,[3] and hydroaminomethylations [4] represent attractive approaches for the synthesis of substituted anilines. Among the various methods, the widely used palladium- ...
