C‒H, N‒H coupling of azole and thiophene derivatives takes place in the presence of a catalytic amount of Cu (OAc) 2 and an additive. The reaction of azoles smoothly occurs with several amines and amides catalyzed by 20 mol% of Cu (OAc) 2–2PPh3 and 4 equiv of NaOAc under O2 or in the presence of Ag2CO3 under N2. The coupling reaction leads to a facile synthesis of a N-substituted analogue of 2, 5-diarylthiazole, which shows ...
