Direct N-acylation of azoles via a metal-free catalyzed oxidative cross-coupling strategy

Abstract

The KI-catalyzed N-acylation of azoles via direct oxidative coupling of C–H and N–H bonds has been developed. It could be smoothly scaled up to gram synthesis of acyl azoles. The reaction occurred by the coupling of acyl radicals and azoles to form the acyl azole radical anion, followed by its further oxidation.
