On Water promoted N-arylation reactions using Cu (0)/myo-inositol catalytic system

Myo-inositol is originally applied as a cardiovascular medicine in clinic, which can be multi-ton manufactured via extraction from the byproducts in agricultural product processing such as defatted rice bran and corn-soaking water. Herein, the application of myo-inositol (MI) as a novel versatile tridentate O-donor ligand has been first described for promoting Cu-catalyzed amination reaction in aqueous medium.
