The irdium-catalyzed intramolecular arylcarbon-hetero cross-coupling reactions with o-haloarylamides or o-haloarylamidine have been effectively achieved using KOAc and just 1 mol% catalyst. The [Ir(cod)Cl]2 was proved to be more potential for smoothly assembling functional structures benzimidazoles, benzoxazoles and benzothiazoles, which was superior to Cu- and Pd-catalyzed systems. Simultaneously
