α‐Arylation of Ketimines with Aryl Sulfides at a Low Palladium Catalyst Loading

“…[1] Aryl halides and phenol-derived pseudohalides have been the most commonly employed arylating agents since the independent discovery of the catalytic a-arylation reactions by the groups of Miura, Buchwald, and Hartwig.
