Abstract
[reaction--see text] A convenient method for intermolecular N-arylation of hydrazides with substituted aryl iodides in the presence of a copper catalyst and Cs(2)CO(3) is reported. The C-N coupling of N-Boc hydrazine with para- and meta-substituted aryl iodides afforded the N-arylated products A, regioselectively. A reversal in regioselectivity is observed for the arylation of benzoic hydrazide with ortho-substituted aryl iodides, providing the N'-arylated products B.
