Coupling reactions of alpha-bromocarboxylate with non-aromatic N-heterocycles.

The conditions for the C-N bond forming reaction (C-N coupling reaction) between alpha-bromocarboxylate and nitrogen-containing non-aromatic heterocyclic rings under heterogeneous copper(I) oxide catalysis are investigated in this paper. All the generated compounds were fully characterized by IR, NMR and MS spectroscopy. Ab initio/DFT calculations of partial charges on nitrogen atoms in all the discussed heterocycles and on C((2)) of carboxylate under applied conditions were predicted.
