Abstract

Per-6-amino-β-cyclodextrin (per-6-ABCD), acting simultaneously as a supramolecular ligand for CuI and host for aryl bromides, catalyzes N-arylation of imidazole with aryl bromides under mild conditions. This simple method proceeds with excellent yield for the coupling of imidazole with various substituted aryl bromides demonstrating good tolerance of other functionalities.
