Abstract
[reaction: see text] 1-Aminonaphthalenes and 5- and 8-aminoquinolines were rapidly prepared from the respective aryl bromides in good yields by Pd-catalyzed aryl amination under microwave conditions. Consistent improvements in yields over those obtained under standard conditions were seen with quinoline substrates. In the cases where 5-bromo-8-cyanoquinoline was used as a substrate, no desired products were obtained under standard conditions with a number of different primary and secondary amines. However, microwave conditions provided the desired products in good to excellent yields.
