Abstract

Six novel palladium N-heterocyclic carbene complexes bearing different ancillary ligands such as pyridine, 1-methylimidazole, 4,5-dimethylthiazole and 3-bromoquinoline have been successfully prepared in a one-step process. These complexes were used as pre-catalysts in the Buchwald–Hartwig amination of cyclic secondary amines with aryl chlorides. A range of cyclic secondary amines were tolerated to a wide variety of aryl chlorides in presence of 1 mol% catalyst loading under mild conditions. Under the tested reaction conditions, the expected N-arylamines were obtained in moderate to high yields. The results showed that these novel palladium complexes are effective catalysts for the Buchwald–Hartwig amination.
