Regioselective palladium-catalyzed aminations with anilines on 2-chloro-3-iodo- and 2-chloro-5-iodopyridine have been performed with excellent yields and good selectivity. The use of a large excess of Cs2CO3 in combination with Pd-BINAP catalyst was essential to obtain sufficiently fast reactions. The mild conditions permit the presence of base sensitive functional groups. Moreover, the catalytic system developed also allows the arylamination of aryl iodides.
