RESUMO
The comparison of the possibilities of Pd- and Cu-catalyzed amination reactions using fluorine-containing aryl bromides and iodides with oxadiamines to produce their N,N'-diaryl derivatives was carried out. The dependence of the reactivity of the aryl halides on the nature of the substituents and halogen atoms as well as on the structure of oxadiamines was investigated. It was found that the copper-catalyzed reactions were somewhat comparable with the palladium-mediated processes in the majority of cases, especially in the reactions with para-fluorine- and para-(trifluoromethyl)-substituted aryl halides, although the necessity to use aryl iodides in the Cu(I)-catalyzed amination was obvious. Pd catalysis was found inevitable for the successful amination of more sterically hindered ortho-(trifluoromethyl)aryl bromides.
