Efficient N-arylation catalyzed by a copper(I) pyrazolyl-nicotinic acid system

Catalyst 6-(1H-pyrazol-1-yl)nicotinic acid L-CuCl behaves as a very active promoter of the N-arylation reactions, as it has been demonstrated with varieties of substrates under mild reaction conditions. A Cu(I) complex based on L of precatalyst has been isolated by a hydrothermal method and structurally characterized.
