Synthesis of 2-anilinotropones via palladium-catalyzed amination of 2-triflatotropone
[reaction: see text] A series of 2-anilinotropones were synthesized via the palladium-catalyzed cross coupling of 2-triflatotropone and a wide variety of anilines, sterically hindered as well as electron-poor ones.
