Abstract

Abstract Copper (I) 3-methylsalicylate mediates N-arylation reactions of both aliphatic and aromatic heterocycles under moderate reaction conditions. Both electron rich and electron poor aryl bromides and a diverse set of N-heterocycles were allowed to react and gave N- arylation products in high yields which demonstrated the efficiency and utility of this catalyst.
