Copper(ii)-catalyzed boronic acid promoted chemoselective N-arylation of unprotected aminophenols has been developed. Selective N-arylation of 3-aminophenol is achieved with a Cu(OAc)2/AgOAc combination in MeOH at rt, whereas the chemoselective N-arylated products of 4-aminophenol can be obtained with a Cu(OAc)2/Cs2CO3 system and benzoic acid as an additive. These ligand-free conditions and “open-flask” chemistry are robust and compatible with a wide range of functional groups. The mechanistic investigation for this selective N-arylation has been studied by considering Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations.
