Talk:Buchwald–Hartwig amination

The “edit" links are malfunctioned - please check.

It seems to work fine now. -- Ed (Edgar181) 11:14, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Russian catalyst

The article says the catalyst in the Russian work was [PdPh2(PPh3)2]I. I'm fairly sure that this is wrong, though I don't know what it should be. Chris (talk) 20:59, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

Photo of John Hartwig

I think it's totally appropriate to include a picture of the man who gave his name (along with Stephen Buchwald) to this reaction. Personally, I think it's important to remind readers that there are real people behind the chemistry - many of our chem articles are pretty boring for the lay reader, IMHO! The Hartwig picture was recently removed from this article by an anonIP, without any discussion. Does anyone object if I add it back in? Thanks, Walkerma (talk) 03:04, 10 December 2010 (UTC)

August 2011 expansion

I've expanded the article, but I think it could still use a bit of work.

In particular:

1. I couldn't exactly get all of the images to be the right size so if someone wants to fiddle with that feel free
2. I left out xantphos and NHC ligands which are somewhat important
3. I focused almost entirely on work done by Buchwald and Hartwig themselves, although a few others (notably Beller with the ether chemistry) have contributed somewhat
4. The variation section is pretty sparse on detail, although I almost feel ether and enolate coupling have enough info to have their own pages
5. I really didn't focus on non-palladium chemistry, maybe more detail on that would be good? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mdlevin (talk • contribs) 22:43, 2 August 2011 (UTC)

assorted problems

Mechanism - These studies have revealed a divergent reaction pathways - either delete a or change pathways to pathway

Ammonia equivalents - A catalyst system that can directly couple ammonia using a Josiphos-type ligand - sentence fragment

Variations on C-N couplings: C-O, C-S, and C-C couplings - Under conditions similar to those employed for aminations, alcohols and can be coupled - alcohols and what?

Furthermore, mercaptoesters has - have

figure - R- substituent on phenyl halide at top left is missing from product on top right

References - 43 & 45 - r-Arylation should be alpha-Arylation in both (unlikely to be a computer display problem since r-Arylation showed up on 2 different computers/operating systems) 64.26.99.248 (talk) 21:30, 28 November 2018 (UTC)

Replace all pre-2016 references to C-N coupling?

One option is to replace most pre-2016 references to C-N coupling with this more authoritative review that offers more perspective:Ruiz-Castillo, P.; Buchwald, S. L. (2016). "Applications of Palladium-Catalyzed C–N Cross-Coupling Reactions". Chemical Reviews. 116: 12564-12649. doi:10.1021/acs.chemrev.6b00512.{{cite journal}}: CS1 maint: multiple names: authors list (link) Maybe keep those that are historic, but otherwise few readers are interested in details of older methods that have been superseded.--Smokefoot (talk) 21:56, 27 May 2019 (UTC)
