Copper(I)-Catalyzed N-Arylation of N1,N3-Dibenzylmalonamide and N1,N3-Dibutylmalonamide Followed by Cleavage of the Malonyl Group with Aryl Halides under Ligand-Free Conditions

We primarily developed a practical and convenient protocol to synthesize of aromatic amines based on CuI-catalyzed N-arylation of N-1,N-3-dibenzylmalonamide and N-1,N-3-dibutylmalonamide followed by cleavage of the malonyl group with aryl halides under ligand-free conditions giving good yields.
