Abstract

Abstract The amination of aryl chlorides with various aniline derivatives using the N- heterocyclic carbene-based Pd complexes Pd-PEPPSI-IPr and Pd-PEPPSI-IPent (PEPPSI= pyridine, enhanced precatalyst, preparation, stabilization, and initiation; IPr= diisopropylphenylimidazolium derivative; IPent= diisopentylphenylimidazolium derivative) has been studied. Rate studies have shown a reliance on the aryl chloride to be electron ...
