Robust BuchwaldHartwig amination enabled by ballmilling
An operationally simple mechanochemical method for the Pd catalysed Buchwald–Hartwig amination of arylhalides with secondary amines has been developed using a Pd PEPPSI catalyst system The system is demonstrated on 30 substrates and applied in the context of a target synthesis Furthermore the performance of the reaction under aerobic conditions has been probed under traditional solution
