Abstract

Abstract A mild method for the copper-catalyzed amidation of aryl iodides is reported. This simple CN bond forming procedure shows that the combination of air stable CuI and 1, 10- phenanthroline in the presence of KF/Al 2 O 3 comprises an extremely efficient and general catalyst system for the N-amidation of aryl iodides. Different functionalized aryl iodides were efficiently coupled with amides using this method.
