Cobalt-Catalyzed Electrophilic Amination of Arylzincs with N-Chloroamines

International audienceAn efficient cobalt-catalyzed electrophilic amination of arylzinc reagents has been achieved. A variety of functionalized arylzincs and N-chloroamines were coupled under mild conditions (see scheme). Both secondary and tertiary arylamines were obtained in moderate to excellent yields
