In conclusion, we have developed a catalytic protocol based on a "naked nickel" complex, which permits the coupling of various heteroaryl bromides bearing Lewis-basic heteroatoms with a variety of primary and secondary alkyl and arylamines. The catalytic protocol proceeds under thermal conditions without the need of light or electrochemical setups. The protocol also allows the coupling to proceed in the absence of fine-tuned exogenous ligands. These results
