Aromatic C-N Bond Formation with Non-Amine Substrates and Ammonia Surrogates

4 Aromatic C-N Bond Formation with Non-Amine Substrates and Ammonia Surrogates 

The scope aromatic C-N bond formation extends beyond simple amine substrates. For example, selected imines, sulfoximines, hydrazines, lactams, azoles, and carbamates give useful products from intermolecular aromatic C-N bond formation. Intramolecular formation of aryl amides has been reported. In addition, allylamine undergoes arylation, providing a readily cleaved amine alternative to the ammonia surrogates benzylamine, t-butylcarbamate, or benzophenone imine. Although it is an amine substrate, the reaction of this reagent is included here because of its special purpose.
