Palladium-Catalyzed Coupling of Sulfonylhydrazones with Heteroaromatic 2-Amino-Halides (Barluenga Reaction): Exploring the Electronics of the Sulfonylhydrazone

This paper describes a new reactivity of the Pd-catalyzed coupling of 2-amino-3-bromo-aromatic and heteroaromatic compounds with sulfonylhydrazones (Barluenga reaction).The new catalyst system and modulation of the electronic nature of hydrazone that were needed for successful reaction are described herein.
