Abstract

A highly effective solvent-free protocol for the Buchwald–Hartwig amination of unactivated aryl chlorides is described. The effect of various [Pd (NHC)] pre-catalyst systems on the reactivity has been studied.[Pd (IPr*)(cin) Cl] is reported as the complex of choice for the transformation.
