Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0040-4039(98)00503-6

A new method of arylating N-H and O-H containing compounds at room temperature with phenylboronic acids and cupric acetate in the presence of a tertiary amine promoter is described. Substrates include phenols, amines, anilines, amides, imides, ureas, carbamates, and sulfonamides.
