CuBr/rac-BINOL-Catalyzed N-Arylations of Aliphatic Amines at Room Temperature

Abstract
We have developed an efficient and readily available catalyst system CuBr/racemic BINOL (1,1‘-binaphthyl-2,2‘-diol) that catalyzes N-arylation of aliphatic amines at room temperature, and this inexpensive catalyst system is of high selectivity and tolerance toward various functional groups in the substrates.
