The reductive formation of substituted anilines from amines and three well‐defined aryl‐ gold(III) complexes, i.e., dichloro(2,6‐lutidine)phen‐ ylgold(III) ( 2 ), dichloro(2,6‐lutidine)‐ p ‐tolylgold(III) ( 3 ), and chlorobis(triphenylphosphine)phenylgold(III) chloride ( 4 ) was studied. The reaction is stoichiometric in gold and represents a key step of a potential gold‐catalyzed intermolecular amination reaction of arenes. It proceeds smoothly with a broad range of N ‐nucleophiles in the presence of sodium acetate (NaOAc) and enables the selective formation of N ‐substituted anilines in good yields. A mechanistic pathway is proposed and discussed as well.
