Abstract

Phenols are considered as an ideal alternative to aryl halides as coupling partners in cross-coupling reactions. In the present work a copper-catalyzed cross-coupling of phenols with various aromatic and aliphatic amines for the synthesis of secondary aryl amines using dichloroimidazolidinedione (DCID) as a new and efficient activating agent has been developed. Substituted phenols were compatible with the standard reaction conditions. The two proposed mechanisms, which are based on the oxidation addition of copper with Ar-OMCID (MCID: Monochloroimidazolidinedione), are also discussed.
