Abstract: Cu-catalyzed N-arylation of amides commonly known as Goldberg reaction is an important transformation
in organic synthesis for the construction of pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals. This is the first
review in this area which exclusively deals with recent developments in Goldberg reactions with special focus
on mechanistic aspects, catalyst development as well as on the recent applications of this reaction in drug
synthesis.
