Abstract
CH(3)CN and O(2) do the trick! A copper-mediated direct oxidative cross-coupling of 2-(het)aryl-1,3,4-oxadiazoles with polyhaloarenes under mild reaction conditions has been developed (see scheme). The process provides a concise access to biaryl structures containing polyhaloarenes, which are of interest in the fields of pharmaceuticals and functional materials. Acetonitrile and oxygen play crucial roles.
