Abstract

In the selective N-arylation of amines or azoles with aryl halides­, methyl-α-d-glucopyranoside (MG) was found to function as a green ligand of copper powder. In addition, nitrogen heterocyclic amine compounds can also undergo the N-arylation coupling with heterocyclic aryl chlorides. This process allows access to a variety of aromatic amines and aryl azoles under mild reaction conditions, has good tolerance, and proceeds in moderate to high yield.
