Direct Nickel‐Catalyzed Amination of Phenols via CO Bond Activation using 2,4,6‐Trichloro‐1,3,5‐triazine (TCT) as Reagent

2,4,6‐Trichloro‐1,3,5‐triazine (TCT) was used as an efficient and mild reagent for the direct nickel‐catalyzed amination of phenols. This reagent can promote amination of phenols via the activation of the phenolic CO bond. In this simple protocol, the in situ generated aryl CO electrophile (Ar‐O‐TCT) reacts with the desired amine to produce the corresponding arylamine in the presence of a nickel catalyst. This strategy is general for a variety...
