Abstract
Aryl boronic acid pinacol esters can be difficult coupling partners in Chan-Evans-Lam reactions that often deliver low yields, especially with aryl amines. A mixed MeCN/EtOH solvent system enables an effective C-N bond formation using aryl amines while EtOH is not required for the coupling of alkyl amines.
