• Buchwald [6][7] and Hartwig [8][9] has been a major breakthrough in this field. More recently, Chan [10] and Lam [11][12] introduced the copper-mediated arylation of N-nucleophiles using stoichiometric copper(II) acetate and boronic acids. Collman improved the procedure using catalytic amounts of [Cu(OH

• , was achieved by reacting 9-N-purines 91 with an excess of arylboronic acid 92 in the presence of copper(II) acetate, molecular sieves and phenanthroline (Scheme 22). Bakkestuen and Gundersen showed that electron-donating and electron-withdrawing substituents on the arylboronic acid were tolerated

• binding site and the N-glycosidic bound thymine provides an additional chiral information and steric shielding. After the ligands had been added to a mixture of copper(II) acetate in THF the complexes were formed within a few minutes resulting in a dark green solution (Scheme 2). All four ligands 8–11
