Copper-promoted N-cyclopropylation of anilines and amines by cyclopropylboronic acid

Abstract

Reaction of anilines, primary and secondary aliphatic amines with cyclopropylboronic acid in dichloroethane in the presence of Cu(OAc)2 (1 equiv.), 2,2′-bipyridine (1 equiv.) and sodium carbonate or sodium bicarbonate (2 equiv.) under air atmosphere afforded the corresponding N-cyclopropyl derivatives in good to excellent yields.
