Processes for the Preparation of Arylamine Compounds

摘要

A process for the preparation of N-arylamine compounds, the process including: reacting a compound having an amino group with an acylating compound in the presence of a base and a transition metal catalyst under reaction conditions effective to form an N-arylamine compound; wherein the transition metal catalyst comprises a complex of a Group 8-10 metal and at least one chelating ligand comprising (R)-(−)-1-[(S)-2-dicyclohexylphosphino]-ferrocenyl]ethyldi-t-butylphosphine.
