Copper-catalyzed dehydrogenative cross-coupling of benzothiazoles with thiazoles and polyfluoroarene

A copper-catalyzed dehydrogenative cross-coupling of benzothiazoles with thiazoles and polyfluoroarene under mild reaction conditions is described. This protocol provides a straightforward and operationally simple method for the synthesis of the 2,27prime;-linkage of thiazoles and 2-polyfluoroarylthiazoles of interest in life and material sciences.

Palladium-catalyzed dehydrogenative cross-couplings of benzazoles with azoles

Different enough: Palladium-catalyzed cross-couplings of benzazoles with imidazoles, oxazoles, and thiazoles furnish unsymmetrical 2,2′- bisheteroaryls in high yield (see scheme). These oxidative Ci-C bond formations use the selective cleavage of the Ci-H bond at C2 in the two coupling partners and are robust enough to be conducted under normal air atmosphere.
