ABSTRACT
Two pyridine-based ligands (N-((pyridin-2-yl) methyl) pyridin-2-amine) L1 and (N-((pyridin-2-yl) methylene) pyridin-2-amine) L2 are explored in present work which are inexpensive, effective and environmentally benign in their properties. These have been utilized for C-N cross coupling reaction resulting in N-arylation. The N-arylation of indole, imidazole and triazole have been successfully carried out with different aryl and heteroaryl halides using these ligands.
