A water‐soluble sulfonato‐Cu(salen) complex catalyzed procedure for the N ‐arylation of simple aliphatic amines, amino alcohols and amino acids in pure water have been developed. A variety of substituted aryl iodides, bromides and electron‐deficient chlorides were found to be applicable, and 1,2‐disubstituted benzimidazoles could be prepared easily by a cascade amination/condensation process in this catalytic system.
