Copper-catalyzed C-N bond formation using dialkyl azodicarboxylate as the amination reagent

摘要

An efficient copper-catalyzed reaction for C-N bond formation using aryl halides, dialkyl azodicarboxylate, and a hydride source is reported. Using this procedure, aryl iodides reacted at ambient conditions, while aryl bromides required heating to 60 degrees C to accomplish the transformation. Various functional groups were tolerated under the optimum conditions. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
