Four inexpensive and air‐ and moisture‐stable 2N2O–Cu complexes were synthesized, one of which proved to exhibit good catalytic activity for the N‐arylation of imidazoles in water. A variety of aryl iodides and aryl bromides underwent coupling with imidazoles promoted by the catalytic system with moderate to excellent yields. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
