This study describes a facile nickel-catalyzed method to achieve the synthetically useful amination of aryl sulfamates and carbamates. This approach uses an air-stable Ni(II) precatalyst, which, when employed with a mild reducing agent, efficiently delivers aminated products in good yields. The scope of the method is broad with respect to both coupling partners. For instance, substrates with electron-donating and electron-withdrawing groups are tolerated, as well as those that possess ortho and para substituents. Furthermore, heteroaryl substrates may also be employed as coupling partners.
