Abstract
Recent developments in the field of intermolecular cross-couplings
between heteroarenes through dual C-H bond cleavage under
oxidative conditions are reviewed. The use of palladium catalysts
allows for regioselective carbon-carbon bond formations
between important classes of heteroarenes without the need to prefunctionalize
the positions that shall be linked.
Key words
catalysis - C-C bond formation - heteroarylation - palladium - regioselectivity

The presence of Ag+ ions
also affects the selectivity for the cross-coupling reaction. As
investigated in detail for the reaction of benzothiazole with 4,5-dimethylthiazole,
the cross-coupling is strongly favored (92% yield) in the presence
of AgF (2 equiv; Scheme
[8]
).
Without AgF but under otherwise identical reaction conditions, a
mixture of the cross-coupling product (41%) and both homodimers,
i.e., bi(4,5-dimethyl)thiazolyl (43%) and bi(benzothiazolyl) (15%)
were produced.
