✦ Synopsis
Copper-catalyzed N-arylation of imidazoles can be accomplished using (CuOTf)2°benzene as a copper source and Cs2CO3 as a base in xylenes at 110-125 °C. Addition of 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) and trans, trans-dibenzylideneacetone (dba) was crucial to the success of the process. The products, N-arylimidazoles, were isolated in high yields.
