Palladium-catalyzed aminocarbonylation of heteroaryl halides using di-tert-butylphosphinoferrocene

Pd-catalyzed aminocarbonylation of heteroaryl halides, using monodentate ligand di-tert-butylphosphinoferrocene tetrafluoroborate is reported. Good to high yields were obtained with chiral amines on a variety of substrates including 2-bromo heteroaryls.
