Arylation of Amines and Monoarylation of Symmetrical Diamines in the Presence of Brine Solution with Diheteroaryl Halides

A simple, scalable, ligand-free, and metal-free protocol for arylation of amines and monoarylation of symmetrical diamines with diheteroaryl halides in the presence of brine solution has been developed. The protocol has broad structural applicability for chemoselective monoarylation of a wide variety of symmetrical, cyclic, and acyclic aliphatic diamines. The protocol is also applicable for selective arylation of aliphatic amine in the presence of aromatic amine.
