general alkylation of heterocycles using a simple palladium catalyst is reported. Most classes of heterocycles, including indoles and pyridines, efficiently coupled with unactivated secondary and tertiary alkylhalides. An alkyl radical addition to neutral heteroarenes is most likely involved.

describe herein the synthetic method to benzoxazole derivatives via the copper-catalyzed hydroamination of alkynones with 2-aminophenols. The method produced a wide variety of functionalized benzoxazole derivatives in good yields. Preliminary mechanistic experiments revealed that the reaction would proceed through the copper-catalyzed hydroamination of alkynones and the sequential intramolecular cyclization
