posted on 2017-07-17, 14:42 authored by Xiaochuang Wang, Meiji Wang, Jianwei XieA ligand-free Cu-catalyzed protocol for the Ullmann-type N-arylation of N-containing heterocycles with aryl or heteroaryl iodides and bromides has been established. A broad range of functional groups is well tolerated on both of the cross-coupling partners, producing the desired products in good to excellent yields.
