Résumé : Cyanamides possess both nucleophilic and electrophilic centers and their arylation reactions are known to proceed at N(sp3) and C(sp)-sites, leading to N-aryl- cyanamides or amidines. N(sp)-Selectivity has also been reported only in the presence of amines, thus leading to guanidines. Herein, we report a general copper-catalyzed ligand-controlled Chan-Lam-Evans arylation of cyanamides proceeding regioselectively at the N(sp3) or N(sp) atoms and leading to either to N-aryl- cyanamides or dissymmetric carbodiimides. The nature of the ligand, either a bipyridine or a diamine, controls the product distribution and thus offers a divergent entry to useful building blocks from readily available cyanamides.
