nucleophiles, has been accomplished using a simple and cheap copper catalytic system. The corresponding tertiary acyclic amides, which can be found in numerous biologically active compounds, have been obtained in good to excellent yields.
The N-arylation of aromatic and aliphatic secondary acyclic amides, known to be poor nucleophiles, has been accomplished using a simple and cheap copper catalytic system. The corresponding tertiary acyclic amides, which can be found in numerous biologically active compounds, have been obtained in good to excellent yields.
