Inert aryl methyl ethers as coupling components via C-O activation have been established with a Ni catalyst for C-H activation of heteroarene. The key to simultaneous C-H/C-O bond activation is the use of sterically demanding o-tolylMgBr. The protocol is effective for a wide scope of substrates including naphthyl methyl ethers, anisoles, and a variety of other heteroarene derivatives. Detailed mechanistic studies indicated that the C-O cleavage is assisted via synergistic effect of nickel and Grignard reagent in this C-H/C-O reaction, which is supported by DFT calculation. At this stage, single-electron transfer can be ruled out as a main operative process for this tandem strategy.

(Benz)imidazoles can be efficiently functionalized by (hetero)aryl chlorides via direct C-H bond arylation in the presence of a well-defined NHC-Pd(II)-Im complex. Under the optimal conditions, various activated, unactivated, and deactivated (hetero)aryl chlorides were successfully applied as the arylating reagents to achieve the 2-(hetero)aryl (benz)imidazoles in acceptable to high yields, giving a facile and alternative methodology for the direct C-H bond arylation of (benz)imidazoles.
