Abstract

The use of light to facilitate copper-catalyzed cross-couplings of nitrogen nucleophiles can enable C–N bond formation to occur under unusually mild conditions. In this study, we substantially expand the scope of such processes, establishing that this approach is not limited to reactions of carbazoles with iodobenzene and alkyl halides. Specifically, we demonstrate for the first time that other nitrogen nucleophiles (eg, common ...
