P(i-BuNCH2CH2)3N: an effective ligand in the palladium-catalyzed amination of aryl bromides and iodides

J Org Chem. 2003 Jan 24;68(2):452-9. doi: 10.1021/jo0205309.

Abstract

It is shown that the bicyclic triaminophosphine P(i-BuNCH2CH2)3N serves as an effective ligand for the palladium-catalyzed amination of a wide array of aryl bromides and iodides. Other bicyclic or acyclic triaminophosphines, even those of similar basicity and/or bulk, were inferior.
