Emerging Developments Using Nitrogen–Heteroatom Bonds as Amination Reagents in the Synthesis of Aminoarenes

Aminoarenes constitute valuable building blocks in organic synthesis and an essential skeleton ubiquitously found in ligands, agrochemicals, and pharmaceuticals. This Synopsis presents recent amination methods using nitrogen-heteroatom bonds as a powerful and versatile platform to rapidly synthesize diverse aminoarenes, with a focus on aryne amino functionalization and transition-metal-catalyzed arene C-H amination.
