Development of Annulative Coupling and Aromatic Amination toward the Synthesis of Structurally New Aromatic Amines

Aromatic amines are widely recognized as some of the most important scaffolds in various functional molecules, such as pharmaceuticals and materials. Two reactions have been developed to access structurally novel aromatic amines: 1) annulative coupling and 2) aromatic amination. This account summarizes the recent progress in these two reactions.
