cross-coupling reaction between α-amino carbonylcompounds and azoles by copper catalysis using di-tert-butyl peroxide (DTBP) as an oxidant is described. A diverse range of azoles undergo the dehydrogenative imidoylation smoothly with various α-amino carbonylcompounds for the exclusive formation of the corresponding N-imidoyl azoles in high yields under air. The synthetic method has the advantages of good
