Application of a 2-aryl indenylphosphine ligand in the Buchwald–Hartwig cross-coupling reactions of aryl and heteroaryl chlorides under the solvent-free and aqueous conditions

Abstract

An efficient solvent-free protocol for the Buchwald–Hartwig cross-coupling reaction of aryl and heteroaryl chlorides with primary and secondary amines using the Pd(dba)₂/ligand 1 catalytic system has been developed. Notably, the catalytic system also efficiently catalyzed the reaction under aqueous conditions.
