Copper-catalysed substitution of aryl halides by potassium phthalimide: an extension of the Gabriel reaction
Abstract
Conversion into phthalimido-compounds is effected by copper-catalysed substitution reactions, in boiling dimethylacetamide, between potassium phthalimide and a wide range of aryl bromides and iodides, thus providing a useful preparative route to aromatic amines.
