title: New ammonia equivalents for the Pd-catalyzed amination of aryl halides.
abstract: [reaction: see text]. LiN(SiMe3)2, Ph3SiNH2, and LiNH2 can be be used as ammonia equivalents for the Pd-catalyzed coupling of aryl halides. Using these amine derivatives, simple anilines, including ortho-substituted ones, as well as di- and triarylamines can be readily prepared.
