An Integrated Carbon Nitride‐Nickel Photocatalyst for the Amination of Aryl Halides Using Sodium Azide

A heterogeneous photocatalytic method is reported for the selective synthesis of primary anilines via cross-coupling of a wide range of aryl/heteroaryl halides with sodium azide using nickel deposited on a mesoporous carbon nitride material. This procedure removes the need for sophisticated ligands, precious metals, and elevated temperatures/pressures, and it takes place under mild reaction conditions with a recyclable catalyst.
