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
A palladium‐catalyzed tandem reaction for synthesis of 2‐arylindoles is described. The process involves a condensation/reduction/condensation/heteroannulation to give the respective indole. Furthermore, it also features satisfactory yields and selectivities.
