Abstract
A novel diamine copper complex-catalyzed intermolecular coupling of arylbor onic acids (1) with imidazoles (3) is described. In the presence of a catal ytic amount of [Cu(OH). TMEDA](2)Cl-2 (2), arylboronic acids (1) react smoo thly with imidazoles (3) in dichloromethane at room temperature to give a v ariety of N-arylimidazoles (4) in good to excellent yields.
