Significance

This article presents an extensive study on the selectivity, scope and structure-activity relations for the Pd-catalyzed amination of (het)aryl halides with primary amines. Aryl iodies, which are known to be more reluctant substrates to Pd-catalyzed amination, were also successfully converted.
