Application of Buchwald palladacycles and imidazole-derived monophosphines

3 Application of Buchwald palladacycles and imidazole-derived monophosphines 

The Beller group has contributed to the development of effective ancillary ligands for use in the palladium-catalyzed monoarylation of ammonia. In a pair of publications it was demonstrated that appropriately constructed imidazole-derived monophosphine ligands (including L8) are capable of supporting active complexes for the monoarylation of ammonia, albeit under somewhat forcing conditions ( 120°C lObarN ).
