Amination of aryl chlorides in water catalyzed by cyclopalladated ferrocenylimine complexes with commercially available monophosphinobiaryl ligands

The easily accessible, air- and moisture-stable cyclopalladated ferrocenylimine complex 3 was found to be a highly active one-component precatalyst for the amination of aryl chlorides in water in the presence of inexpensive KOH and t-BuOH as a base and an additive, respectively.
