Palladium‐Catalyzed Cross‐Coupling of Aryl Chlorides and Tosylates with Hydrazine

Abstract

Hydrazine is not a problem anymore: The title transformation is the first reaction to yield aryl hydrazines through the cross-coupling of aryl chlorides and tosylates with hydrazine. An appropriately designed palladium catalyst allows this reaction to proceed rapidly under mild conditions, and with excellent chemoselectivity (see scheme; Ad=adamantyl, Ts=4-toluenesulfonyl).
