Abstract
The present invention provides an activator in arylamination using a palladium compound as a catalyst, which is superior to conventional phosphines in stability and performance. With the phosphine sulfide as an activator, an arylamination reaction achieves improved selectivity to produce a desired aromatic amine in an obviously increased yield as compared with a reaction using the corresponding phosphine compound. Moreover, the phosphine sulfide of the invention is impervious to oxidation and exists stably in air and therefore sufficiently withstands use on an industrial scale.
