Technical Notes:

1. Versatile air-stable low cost nickel catalyst alternative to palladium for carbon-carbon and carbon- heteroatom cross-coupling reactions.

2.Used to react substituted aryl and heteroaryl halides and tosylates with ammonia to produce diverse aryl and heteroaryI amines

3.Used in monoarylation experiments using commercially available ammonia gas, ammonium salts or ammonia stock solutions

4.Catalyzes the coupling of aryl chlorides with gaseous amines in the form of their hydrochloride salts 3
