A novel, highly efficient, and mild protocol has been developed for the synthesis of O-aryloxime ethers in good to excellent yields at ambient reaction conditions. This is the first report in which =N-O-Ar linkage was achieved with ecofriendly, recyclable, heterogeneous copper fluorapatite (CuFAP) catalyst via C-O cross coupling of aryloxime with arylboronic acid in the presence of Cs2CO3 as base and methanol as solvent.

This paper describes the first report in which copper species containing copper fluorapatite (CuFAP) acts as a versatile, eco-friendly, recyclable, heterogeneous catalyst for an efficient synthesis of symmetric biaryls from the homo-coupling of arylboronic acids in methanol solvent at ambient reaction conditions. The developed protocol is ligand-, base-, and co-catalyst-free, sustainable, mild, inexpensive, and compatible with a wide range of aromatic/heterocyclic boronic acids and provides the corresponding products in excellent yields without purification. The catalyst was easily recovered from the reaction mixture and reused several times without loss of activity.
