N-Arylation of aliphatic, aromatic and heteroaromatic amines catalyzed by copper bis(2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-3,5-heptanedionate)

Copper bis(2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-3,5-heptanedionate) was found to be an efficient catalyst for N-arylation of aliphatic, aromatic and heteroaromatic amines with aryl iodides/bromides under mild conditions.
