Regioselective copper-catalyzed amination of halobenzoic acids using aromatic amines
Copper dipyridine dichloride (CuPy2Cl2) has been found to be an efficient catalyst for the synthesis of N-aryl anthranilic acids from ortho-halobenzoic acids and aromatic amines. Some of the advantages of this method are high chemo selectivity, ease of operation, and high yields (56-92%). (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
