title: Nickel-catalyzed amination of aryl tosylates.
abstract: The cross-coupling of aryl tosylates with amines and anilines was accomplished by using a Ni-based catalyst system from the combination of Ni(II)-(sigma-aryl) complexes/N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs). The feature, scope, and limitation of this reaction are disclosed.
