19. Microwave-assisted amination of aryl triflates with alkylamines in the absence of a catalyst and base has been accomplished; however, arylamines failed and base-sensitive functional groups were not tolerated: Xu, G.; Wang, Y. G. Org. Lett. 2004, 6, 985.

21. Aryl/heteroaryl nonaflates are generally more stable toward hydrolysis than the corresponding triflate and can easily be prepared from the corresponding phenol by reacting with perfluoro-1-butanesulfonyl fluoride. See ref 3a and the Supporting Information for more details.
22. DBU and MTBD are good microwave absorbers, which allows the reactions to attain higher temperatures faster in nonpolar solvents such as toluene.
23. When DBU was used as the base/solvent for more challenging substrate combinations, decomposition of the aryl nonflate predominated.
