Copper-catalyzed sequential N-arylation of C-amino-NH-azoles.

Copper(II)-catalyzed boronic acid promoted C-N bond cross-coupling reactions have been successfully developed for sequential N-arylation of C-amino-NH-azoles. These general protocols are compatible with a variety of aryl/hetero-aryl boronic acids and provided rapid access to a diverse array of diarylaminoazole derivatives in a two-step sequence or in one-pot.
