Abstract
Immobilization of copper onto polystyrene provided a polymer-supported copper(II) catalyst, which was effective in cross-coupling reactions between N-containing substrates and arylboronic acids using methanol as a solvent in air under base-free conditions. This catalyst was also effective in N-arylation of imidazole with aryl halides in DMSO using K2CO3 as a base under nitrogen atmosphere. The catalyst was characterized by physico-chemical and spectroscopic techniques. The product N-arylimidazoles and N-arylbenzimidazoles were isolated in good to excellent yields. This copper catalyst was air stable and could be recycled with minimal loss of activity.
