Abstract

The efficient conversion of electron-poor aryl triflates to the corresponding aromatic amines was accomplished by using ZnCl 2complexes of organic amines as nitrogen source with K 2CO3 as the base in DMSO. The coupling reaction was performed in air and ligand-free without the sealed vessel. A possible mechanism, which was different with aromatic nucleophilic substitution (S NAr), was proposed. The animation products were confirmed by 1H NMR, IR and MS techniques.
