Abstract

[reaction: see text] Microwave-assisted, palladium-catalyzed C-N bond-forming reactions with aryl/heteroaryl nonaflates and amines using the soluble amine bases DBU (1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene) or MTBD (7-methyl-1,5,7-triazabicyclo[4.4.0]dec-5-ene) and ligands (1-3) resulted in good to excellent yields (71-99%) of arylamines in short reaction times (1-45 min).
