Copper-catalyzed N-arylation of amides using (S)-N-methylpyrrolidine-2-carboxylate as the ligand

Molecules. 2010 Mar 2;15(3):1154-60. doi: 10.3390/molecules15031154.

Abstract

(S)-N-methylpyrrolidine-2-carboxylate, a derivative of natural L-proline, was found to be an efficient ligand for the copper-catalyzed Goldberg-type N-arylation of amides with aryl halides under mild conditions. A variety of N-arylamides were synthesized in good to high yields.
