Copper-Mediated Synthesis of Substituted 2-Aryl-N-benzylbenzimidazoles and 2-Arylbenzoxazoles via C–H Functionalization/C–N/C–O Bond Formation
摘要:
An efficient method for the transformation of N-benzyl bisarylhydrazones and bisaryloxime ethers to functionalized 2-aryl-N-benzylbenzimidazoles and 2-arylbenzoxazoles is described. The protocol involves a copper(II)-mediated cascade C-H functionalization/C-N/C-O bond formation under neutral conditions. Substrates having either electron-donating or -withdrawing substituents undergo the cyclization to afford the target heterocycles at moderate temperature.

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
