A general method for copper-catalyzed arylation of sp (2) C-H bonds with p K a's below 35 has been developed. The method employs aryl halide as the coupling partner, lithium alkoxide or K 3PO 4 base, and DMF, DMPU, or mixed DMF/xylenes solvent. A variety of electron-rich and electron-poor heterocycles such as azoles, caffeine, thiophenes, benzofuran, pyridine oxides, pyridazine, and pyrimidine can be arylated. Furthermore, electron-poor arenes possessing at least two electron-withdrawing groups ...[more]
