A simple, inexpensive and ligand-free copper-catalysed N-arylation of pyrrole with aryl iodides has been developed giving N-arylated products in moderate to excellent yields. The catalyst loading is relative low (5 mol%) and the catalyst system was stable in air. ... Keywords: copper, ligand-free, N-arylation, pyrrole, aryl iodides ... Pyrrole-containing heterocycles are ubiquitous in natural and well-represented among the desirable structures of modern medicinal ...
