Direct construction of 2-alkylbenzo-1,3-azoles via C-H activation of alkanes for C-C and C-X (X = O, S) bond formation

Copper catalyzed straightforward synthesis of 2-alkylbenzoxa(thia)azoles from aryl isocyanates/isothiocyanates and simple alkanes is reported. The protocol utilizes ditertiary butyl peroxide (DTBP) as a radical initiator and involves sequential formation of C-C and C-X (X = O, S) bonds followed by a...

Description
Summary:Copper catalyzed straightforward synthesis of 2-alkylbenzoxa(thia)azoles from aryl isocyanates/isothiocyanates and simple alkanes is reported. The protocol utilizes ditertiary butyl peroxide (DTBP) as a radical initiator and involves sequential formation of C-C and C-X (X = O, S) bonds followed by aromatization in a one-pot procedure.
