(23) Wolf and Xu have reported that Cu2O-catalyzed coupling of aryl
chlorides with ammonia occurred at 110 °C under microwave
irradiation; see: Xu, H.; Wolf, C. Chem. Commun. 2009, 3035−3057.
It is notable that Hartwig and Vo reported that only low yields were
observed under the same conditions; see ref 6b.
