title: Copper-mediated formally dehydrative biaryl coupling of azine N-oxides and oxazoles.
abstract: A copper-mediated formally dehydrative biaryl coupling of azine N-oxides and oxazoles has been developed. The C-C bond-forming process proceeds, accompanied by the removal of the oxygen atom from the azine core, to directly afford the azine-oxazole biaryl linkage. Moreover, this system requires no noble transition metals such as palladium and rhodium, which are common promotors in the related dehydrogenative couplings with the azine N-oxide. Thus, the present protocol can provide a unique and less expensive approach to the azine-containing biheteroaryls of substantial interest in pharmaceutical and medicinal chemistry.
