title: An efficient copper-catalyzed synthesis of anilines by employing aqueous ammonia.
abstract: Under the catalysis of CuI/2-carboxylic acid-quinoline-N-oxide, the cross coupling reactions between aryl iodides or bromides and aqueous ammonia proceed very well to afford N-unprotected aniline derivatives in excellent yields. This inexpensive catalytic system shows great functional group tolerance and excellent reaction selectivity.
