Copper dipyridinedichloride (CuPy2Cl2) has been found to be an efficient catalyst for the synthesis of N-arylanthranilic acids from ortho halobenzoic acids and aromatic amines under microwave irradiation. Some of the advantages of this method are high chemoselectivity, ease of operation, less reaction times and high yields. (61–98%).

A chemo- and regioselective copper-catalyzed cross-coupling procedure for amination of 2-bromobenzoic acids is described. The method eliminates the need for acid protection and produces N-aryl and N-alkyl anthranilic acid derivatives in up to 99% yield. N-(1-Pyrene)anthranilic acid has been employed in metal ion-selective fluorosensing. Titration experiments showed that this pyrene-derived amino acid forms an equimolar complex with Hg(II) in water resulting in selective fluorescence quenching even in the presence of other metal ions such as Zn(II) and Cd(II).
