The synthesis of aromatic amines is of utmost importance in a wide range of chemical contexts. We report a direct amination of boronic acids with nitro compounds to yield (hetero)aryl amines. The novel combination of a dioxomolybdenum(VI) catalyst and triphenylphosphine as inexpensive reductant has revealed to be decisive to achieve this new C?N coupling. Our methodology has proven to be scalable, air and moisture tolerant, highly chemoselective and engages both aliphatic and aromatic nitro compounds. Moreover, this general and step-economical synthesis of aromatic secondary amines showcases orthogonality to other aromatic amine syntheses as it tolerates aryl halides and carbonyl compounds.

The Chan-Evans-Lam reaction is a valuable C-N bond forming process. However, aryl boronic acid pinacol (BPin) ester reagents can be difficult coupling partners that often deliver low yields, in particular in reactions with aryl amines. Herein, we report effective reaction conditions for the Chan-Evans-Lam amination of aryl BPin with alkyl and aryl amines. A mixed MeCN/EtOH solvent system was found to enable effective C-N bond formation using aryl amines while EtOH is not required for the coupling of alkyl amines.
