Recent Developments in Palladium-Catalyzed Alkene Aminoarylation Reactions for the Synthesis of Nitrogen Heterocycles

This short review describes new developments in Pd-catalyzed aminoarylation reactions between aryl halides and alkenes bearing pendant nitrogen nucleophiles. These transformations provide a novel and powerful method for accessing numerous 3-, 5-, 6-, and 7-membered nitrogen heterocycles.
