Microwave assisted solvent free amination of halo-(pyridine or pyrimidine) without transition metal catalyst

A solvent free direct amination of halo-(pyridine or pyrimidine) has been developed in good to high yields under computer-controlled microwave irradiation without transition metal catalyst. This reaction is a solvent and metal free, useful method for coupling of halo-(pyridine or pyrimidine) with pyrrolidine and piperidine derivatives by nucleophilic aromatic substitution (SNAr).
