Abstract
A simple and efficient catalytic system has been developed by adsorption of copper salt in the interlayers of montmorillonite K‐10. The catalytic system impressively exercises the green chemistry perspective leading to effortless recovery and recyclability for the cross‐coupling of arylboronic acids and N‐nucleophiles. The effect of catalytic activity was studied for electronically diverse arylboronic acids and imidazoles relying on various optimizations under optimum thermal condition. The catalytic system was characterized and the morphology was determined.
