Abstract

Through the use of PdCl (dppb)(C3H5) as a catalyst, a range of aryl bromides and chlorides undergoes coupling via C–H bond activation/functionalization reaction with oxazole or benzoxazole in good yields. This air-stable catalyst can be used at low loadings with several substrates. Surprisingly, better results in terms of substrate/catalyst ratio were obtained in several cases using electron-excessive aryl bromides than with the electron-deficient ...
