arenediazonium tetrafluoroborates and maleimides in the presence of TiCl3. The reactions generated 3-arylsuccinimides in satisfactory yields under mild reaction conditions. In addition, 3-arylmaleimides were obtained by the coupling of arenediazonium tetrafluoroborate and maleimides catalyzed by CuCl. This methodology provided the selective and tunable synthesis of two classes of products by simply
