Disclosed is a process for the preparation of N-aryl amine compounds, comprising reacting an amine compound with an arylating compound in the presence of a base and a transition metal catalyst under reaction conditions effective to form an N-aryl amine compound, the transition metal catalyst comprising a Group 8 metal and P(t-Bu).sub.3 as a ligand, and wherein the ratio of the ligand to the Group 8 metal is in the range of about 3:1 to about 0.25:1, and wherein the reaction temperature is less than 100.degree. C. The process of the present invention provides a useful general method of N-arylation for the manufacture of pharmaceuticals, polymers, and the like.
