Abstract
We report a diverse demonstration of synthetically useful chemoselectivity in the synthesis of di-, tri-, and tetraamines (62 examples) by use of Buchwald-Hartwig amination employing a single catalyst system ([Pd(cinnamyl)Cl](2)/L1; L1 = N-(2-(di(1-adamantyl)phosphino)phenyl)morpholine, Mor-DalPhos). Competition reactions established the following relative preference of this catalyst system for amine coupling partners: linear primary alkylamines and imines > unhindered electron-rich primary anilines, primary hydrazones, N,N-dialkylhydrazines, and cyclic primary alkylamines > unhindered electron-deficient primary anilines, α-branched acyclic primary alkylamines, hindered electron-rich primary anilines ≫ cyclic and acyclic secondary dialkylamines, secondary alkyl/aryl and diarylamines, α,α-branched primary alkylamines, and primary amides. The new isomeric ligand N-(4-(di(1-adamantyl)phosphino)phenyl)morpholine (p-Mor-DalPhos, L2) was prepared in 63% yield and was crystallographically characterized; the [Pd(cinnamyl)Cl](2)/L2 catalyst system exhibited divergent reactivity. Application of the reactivity trends established for [Pd(cinnamyl)Cl](2)/L1 toward the chemoselective synthesis of di-, tri-, and tetraamines was achieved. Preferential arylation was observed at the primary alkylamine position within 2-(4-aminophenyl)ethylamine with [Pd(cinnamyl)Cl](2)/L1 and 4-chlorotoluene (affording 5a); the alternative regioisomer (5a') was obtained when using [Pd(cinnamyl)Cl](2)/L2. These observations are in keeping with coordination chemistry studies, whereby binding of 2-(4-aminophenyl)ethylamine to the in situ generated [(L1)Pd(p-tolyl)](+) fragment occurred via the primary amine moiety, affording the crystallographically characterized adduct [(L1)Pd(p-tolyl)(NH(2)CH(2)CH(2)(4-C(6)H(4)NH(2))](+)OTf(-) (7) in 72% yield.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
