A POCl(3)-mediated, direct amination reaction of heterocyclic amides/ureas with NH-heterocycles or N-substituted anilines is described. Compared to the existing methods, this operationally simple protocol provides unique reactivity and functional group compatibility because of the metal-free, acidic reaction conditions. The yields
