Carbamic acid 2-trimethylsilylethyl ester as a new ammonia equivalent for palladium-catalyzed amination of aryl halides

Carbamic acid 2-trimethylsilylethyl ester (Teoc-NH2) serves as an ammonia equivalent in the palladium-catalyzed amination of aryl bromides and aryl chlorides. Anilines with sensitive functional groups can be readily prepared using these amine derivatives.
