Abstract

A straightforward and efficient method for the rhodium-catalyzed intermolecular oxidative cross-coupling of arenes and heteroarenes with thio-and selenophene derivatives (chalcogenophenes) via double C–H bond cleavage has been developed by using Cu (OAc) 2/AgSbF6 as an oxidant. The reaction is applicable to a wide range of (hetero) arenes carrying a directing group and chalcogenophenes to yield substituted biaryl heterocyclic ...
