Microwave-Assisted Amination from Aryl Triflates without Base and Catalyst

[reaction: see text] Aryl triflates are effectively converted to the corresponding anilines under microwave irradiation in 1-methyl-2-pyridone (NMP) without base and catalyst. Aryl triflates substituted with both electron-poor and electron-rich groups give good to excellent yields. It is noteworthy that the halogenated aryl triflates can chemoselectively react with amines to afford halogenated anilines.
