Abstract

Copper bis (2, 2, 6, 6-tetramethyl-3, 5-heptanedionate) was found to be an efficient catalyst for N-arylation of aliphatic, aromatic and heteroaromatic amines with aryl iodides/bromides under mild conditions. The system tolerated a variety of hindered and functionalized amines/aryl halides and the desired N-aryl amines were obtained in good to excellent yields.
