The transition-metal-mediated direct functionalization reactions of CÀH bonds have attracted significant interest in modern organic chemistry.[1] Among them, the direct oxidative cross-coupling reactions utilizing two different CÀH bonds, though difficult to achieve in a general way, are quite attractive processes, since the preactivation, such as metalation and halogenation of both coupling components, can be eliminated so that they are economically and environmentally advantageous (Scheme 1). Therefore, many researchers have recently explored this type of transformation, and a number of CÀC bond formation reactions between sp2/sp2,[2] sp3/sp2,[3] sp3/sp3,[4] and sp/sp CÀH bonds [5] have become available, in particular under palladium catalysis.[6] However, the direct cross-coupling with sp2 and sp CÀH bonds, which may be regarded formally as the direct version of Sonogashira type reaction, still remains an important challenge.[7] Recently, much attention has been focused on tractable and less expensive copper salts or complexes in oxidative direct CÀC coupling reactions.[8–11] Li described the utility of a copper/peroxide catalyst system in the activation of sp3 CÀ H bonds adjacent to olefins, heteroatoms, and carbonyls.[8]Kündig [9a] and Cacchi [9b] succeeded in the synthesis of oxindoles and indoles, respectively, through an intramolecular direct sp3/sp2 CÀC coupling mediated by copper salts. Our group also reported the copper-catalyzed oxidative coupling of N, N-dimethylanilines with terminal alkynes under molecular oxygen.[10] These promising examples encouraged us to develop a copper-based process directed toward the coupling between heteroarene sp2 and alkyne sp CÀH bonds as part of our study on the direct functionalization of heterocyclic compounds.[1b, d, e] We have found that useful heteroarene cores, for example, 1, 3, 4-oxadiazole and oxazole, efficiently undergo copper-mediated oxidative coupling with terminal alkynes, which is reported herein.
