When less nucleophilic anilines and sulfonamides were utilized, bromopyridines (37 and 38) led to excellent yields, whereas difficult-to-activate, electron-rich electrophiles (39-41) furnished the desired products in synthetically useful yields, although diminished. To our delight, electron-poor aryl chlorides and chloro-pyridines were also effective in yielding the desired product in good yields with aniline (42), sulfonamide (43), and dimethylsulfoximine (44 and 45).
