We report a CrCl2 catalyzed oxidative arylation of various pyridines, aryl oxazolines, and aryl imines using aromatic Grignard reagent in the presence of 2,3-dichlor-obutane (DCB). Most of the reaction proceed rapidly at 25 degrees C and do not require any additional ligand Benzo[h] quinoline, 2-arylpyridine, aryl oxazoline, and imines were successfully arylated in good yields under these conditions. A TMS-substituent was used to prevent double arylation. After oxidative cross-coupling the TMS-group was further converted to a second ortho-aryl substituent. Remarkably, inexpensive aryl N-butylimine derivatives are excellent substrate for this oxidative arylation.
