Abstract
The C-N cross-coupling of amides and imidazoles with aryl iodides is described using CuI in tetrabutylammonium bromide (TBAB) under ligand-free conditions. The reaction is simple, general, and efficient affording the C-N cross-coupled products in shorter time and in high yield.
Key words
N-arylation - amides - imidazoles - copper iodide - TBAB
