Copper-catalyzed direct amination of electron-deficient arenes with hydroxylamines

Org Lett. 2011 Jun 3;13(11):2860-3. doi: 10.1021/ol200855t. Epub 2011 May 6.

Abstract

The C-H amination of electron-deficient arenes such as polyfluoroarenes and azole compounds with O-acylated hydroxylamines effectively proceeds in the presence of a copper catalyst even at room temperature to provide the corresponding anilines and aminoazoles in good yields.
