A conceptually new cooperative catalytic system via a synergistic combination of aldehyde and copper catalysis has been established based on systemic mechanistic studies. This new cooperative catalysis has been successfully applied in the direct aerobic oxidative C-H amination of azoles at room temperature, which was previously realized under harsh conditions. Mechanistic studies including isotopic labeling experiments and kinetic isotope effect (KIE) experiments support a reaction pathway that involves formation of an aminal, hydrolysis of the aminal to generate the copper-amide species, subsequent C-H amination and re-oxidation of copper(I) to copper(II) by oxygen. It not only provides an efficient method to realize the oxidative C-H amination of benzoxazoles with free amines at room temperature, but also paves the way for establishing new C-N bond formation reactions by using this efficient cooperative catalysis.
