Abstract

Copper-mediated intermolecular direct biaryl coupling of arylazines and azoles via dual C-H bond cleavage proceeds even without palladium catalysts. The reaction system shows the high potential of copper salts in direct C-H arylation chemistry and provides a new approach to biaryl motifs, which are ubiquitous in pharmaceuticals and functional materials.
