Abstract

Abstract Catalytic SN Ar reaction of fluoroarenes possessing no electron-withdrawing group (s) with cyclic amines was achieved using a readily accessible Ru catalyst, which was prepared from [Ru (benzene) Cl 2] 2, AgOTf, and P (p-FC 6 H 4) 3. The coexistence of molecular sieves MS4A realized high conversion and various substituted aryl amines were obtained in good to high yields.
