18. Recently, an interesting article appeared dealing with fast (15 min) room temperature Pd-catalyzed aminations of activated and unactivated aryl chlorides using alkyl di-t-butylphosphane ligated palladium(I) dimers. Unfortunately, the scope of this exceptionally fast room-temperature amination chemistry is narrow: (a) J.P. Stambuli, R. Kuwano, and J.F. Hartwig Angew. Chem., Int. Ed. 41 2002 4746 4748
19. Although, also other catalysts have been used to perform Buchwald-Hartwig aminations at room temperature the scope is generally broader at higher temperature. Moreover, the reaction times for couplings at room temperature are in the order of hours to one day: (b) J.P. Wolfe, H. Tomori, J.P. Sadighi, J. Yin, and S.L.J. Buchwald J. Org.

48. In control microwave experiments the amination reactions studied were also executed without the use of Pd-catalyst under otherwise identical reaction conditions. The obtained results clearly indicate that these reactions require the use of transition metal catalyst.
49. It was not attempted to check whether the studied microwave-assisted aminations were not already finished before 10 minutes. Theoretically, the possibility of a specific microwave effect can therefore not be ruled out. Nevertheless, if there is such a microwave effect, it is surely very small.
