Simple as that : The synthesis of aromatic amines from aliphatic amines proceeds under transfer hydrogenation conditions (see scheme). By applying the Shvo catalyst, general applicability is shown in the conversion of a variety of functionalized anilines and aliphatic amines. This base‐ and salt‐free method can be an excellent alternative to the known synthesis of anilines.
