Abstract

A simple, highly efficient, and environmentally friendly protocol for the synthesis of primary aromatic amines by catalytic coupling of aromatic boronic acids with aqueous ammonia has been developed by using commercial and inexpensive CuSO4⊙ 5H2O as catalyst without addition of other solvents under mild reaction conditions.
