Abstract
A microwave-enhanced copper-catalyzed protocol for N-arylation using water as the solvent is reported. This fast transformation allows the reaction between various amino acids or amino acid esters and a diverse set of substituted aryl bromides in less than 40 min, affording good yields of non-protected N-arylated amino acids with only minor racemization (6% or less). In addition, online ESI-MS and MS/MS analysis were used to "fish-out" an anionic Cu-containing amino acid complex directly from an ongoing N-arylation reaction.Entities:
