“…Some reactions have been performed at room temperature, 102,350,355,356 but higher temperatures are more common, 141,184,357−360 even as high as 120 °C150,361 and 140 °C, 362 and typically with 1.0−1.1 molar eq of the amine and no additional reagent(s), although the amine has also been used as solvent. 14,174,244,353,354 A variety of solvents have been applied, including alcohols 149,350,358 and nonprotic solvents like PhMe, 182,150 MeCN, 363 DCM, THF, 139,141 DMSO, 364,365 1,4dioxane, 151,366 and DMF. 367 The reaction time is usually short, but when anilines with one or several electron-withdrawing groups attached to the ring are used, even days have been required to obtain some product.…”
