Phasing up to matters : The use of aqueous ammonia in a biphasic system with a copper catalyst and diketone supporting ligands allows the catalytic amination of both activated and unactivated aryl and heteroaryl iodides and bromides under very mild conditions (see scheme; R=electron‐donating or ‐withdrawing group; acac=acetylacetonate).
