Abstract: In the synthesis of primary (hetero)aryl amines through copper-catalysis, the ammonia surrogates or aqueous ammonia nucleophilic partners can be replaced by sodium azide. Recent efforts in copper-mediated transformation of (hetero)aryl halides to (hetero) aryl amines using azide anion as the amino source are discussed in these highlights.
