Abstract

We were interested in finding more and better catalyst-ligand systems for the Cu-catalyzed CS coupling reactions. We were also interested in using aryl bromides, which are less expensive but also less reactive than aryl iodides, as the reactant for the coupling reactions. Thus we paid attention to a special group of ligand, ie amino acids. Any coupling reactions that can use amino acids as ligand would be very interesting because of the following reasons: (1) the amino ...
