ABSTRACT
We have developed a copper-catalyzed process for the coupling of aldehydes, amines, and boronic acids. This allows greater reactivity with simple aryl boronic acids and allows coupling reactions to proceed that previously failed. Initial mechanistic studies support a process involving transmetalation from boron to copper.
