Aryl Halide Tolerated Electrophilic Amination of Arylboronic Acids with <i>N</i>‐Chloroamides Catalyzed by CuCl at Room Temperature

Abstract

NCl is no competition: Aryl halides were tolerated in an efficient ligandless CuCl-catalyzed electrophilic amination reaction of arylboronic acids with N-chloroamides (see scheme; Ac=acetoxy). This coupling proceeded smoothly at ambient temperature, and products were obtained with good to excellent yields.
