37. [2b] CuI (10 mol%), ligand 6a (10 mol%, 2N/ Cu) instead of ligand 1 (5 mol %, corresponding also to the presence of two potential bonding sites per copper atom (2N/Cu)), inexpensive tripotassium phosphate as the base, acetonitrile, 80°C
38. The fraras-diamine-cyclohexane is at least 10-time more expensive than the aniline (checked for Acros Organics, Aldrich and Fluka suppliers).
