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.Graphic Abstracteninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessPalladiumN-Heterocyclic carbeneCyclic secondary aminesBuchwald-Hartwig aminationArticle15441479149410.1007/s10562-023-04432-w2-s2.0-85167341840Q2WOS:001045120700001Q3
