[GRAPHICS]
A novel route to aryloxyamines via the copper mediated cross-coupling of N-
hydroxyphthalimide and phenylboronic acids is reported. The reaction is med
iated by selected copper(I) and (II) salts in the presence of pyridine and
is tolerant of several functional groups on the phenylboronic acid. The pht
halimide group is removed using hydrazine to afford the corresponding arylo
xyamine.
