Abstract
Abstract Tetrazole-1-acetic acid was found to serve as a superior ligand for CuI-catalyzed N -arylation of imidazoles with aryl iodides under a low catalyst loading (5 mol% of CuI). A variety of aryl iodides could be aminated to provide the N -arylated products in good to excellent yields without the need of an inert atmosphere.
