title: Iron-catalyzed aromatic amination for nonsymmetrical triarylamine synthesis.
abstract: Novel iron-catalyzed amination reactions of various aryl bromides have been developed for the synthesis of diaryl- and triarylamines. The key to the success of this protocol is the use of in situ generated magnesium amides in the presence of a lithium halide, which dramatically increases the product yield. The present method is simple and free of precious and expensive metals and ligands, thus providing a facile route to triarylamines, a recurrent core unit in organic electronic materials as well as pharmaceuticals.
