A new class of ligands for transition metal catalyzed amidation of aryl halides has been developed. The ligands are readily synthesized from commercially available starting materials, thus providing modularity. The new ligand class has been tested against a representative range of aryl halides. The resulting amides were obtained in good yield and purity.
