A rapid and efficient protocol for C-N and C-S cross coupling has been developed using a new square pyramidal copper complex, [Cu(DMAP)4I]I. The complex was successfully synthesized via a disproportionation reaction of CuI and DMAP in DMSO. The catalytic activity of the complex was found to be excellent for Chan-Lam coupling reaction between aryl boronic acid and amine, amide, azide or thiol.

It has been observed that 1b is highly fluorescent and its fluorescence changes in presence of metal ions. It was further observed that compound 1b is highly selective towards Cd(2+) ion in solution.

This method was applied to produce aziridines from different kinds of olefins within a short time in high yields.
