Abstract

The arylation of aromatic diamines with arylhydrazine hydrochlorides was achieved in reasonable yields. This new and simple reaction occurred at room temperature in air using an inexpensive base. This transformation seems to proceed via a homolytic aromatic substitution (HAS) mechanism. The synthesized aromatic diamines are used as raw materials for polyimides, including important aerospace materials, for example, Kapton®.
