title: Palladium-catalyzed amination of aryl bromides with hindered N-alkyl-substituted anilines using a palladium(I) tri-tert-butylphosphine bromide dimer.
abstract: An efficient palladium-catalyzed amination of aromatic bromides with hindered N-alkyl-substituted anilines is described, either using the combination of Pd(OAc)(2) and P(t-Bu)(3) or a palladium(I) tri-tert-butylphosphine bromide dimer, [Pd(mu-Br)(t-Bu(3)P)](2), a new, commercially available, and easily handled catalyst.
