title: D-Glucosamine as a green ligand for copper catalyzed synthesis of primary aryl amines from aryl halides and ammonia.
abstract: Replacing conventional reagents with environment friendly reagents is one of the primary goals of modern synthetic methodology and in this very primitive study about utilizing green, naturally available carbohydrate molecules as ligands in transition metal catalyzed reactions, we report Cu/D-glucosamine as an efficient catalyst for aniline synthesis.
