CuI/4-hydroxy-l-proline-catalyzed coupling of aryl bromides and N-Boc
hydrazine takes place in DMSO to give N-aryl hydrazides. When aryl
iodides are employed, no ligand is required.
Under the catalysis of CuI/4-hydroxy-l-proline, the coupling reaction of aqueous
ammonia with aryl bromides proceeds smoothly to afford primary arylamines.

CuI-nanoparticles catalyze a selective synthesis of phenols, anilines, and
thiophenols from aryl halides in the absence of both ligands and organic
solvents. Anilines were formed selectively with ammonia competing with
hydroxylation and thiophenols were generated selectively with sulfur powder
after subsequent reduction competing with hydroxylation and amination.

essential. Secondary amines and aniline are not reactive. Sensitive substituents
are tolerated.

catalyst loadings and with fast reaction times.

to form the aromatic carbamate or urea.
