Iron-catalyzed N-alkylation of azoles via oxidation of C-H bond adjacent to an oxygen atom

Org Lett. 2010 May 7;12(9):1932-5. doi: 10.1021/ol100670m.

Abstract

Azole derivatives were synthesized by iron-catalyzed oxidative reactions of azoles and ethers in good to excellent yields. A wide variety of azoles and ethers were selectively transformed into the corresponding oxidative coupling products under neutral reaction conditions.
