Palladium‐Catalyzed Amination of Aryl Sulfides with Aliphatic Amines

Abstract Conditions for the palladium–NHC‐catalyzed amination of aryl sulfides with aliphatic as well as aromatic amines were established. The KHMDS‐mediated amination of heteroaryl sulfides could proceed without palladium. Based on the distinct difference in reactivity of C–Br and C–S bonds, a sequential amination of bromothioanisole can take place to install two different alkylamino groups onto the aromatic ring in one pot.
