Don't moan, use Ammonia! A general palladium-catalyzed aminocarbonylation of benzyl chlorides using ammonia has been developed. Various primary 2-arylacetamides are synthesized in good to excellent yields and selectivities by using an inexpensive palladium catalyst system for this atom-efficient methodology.
