Abstract

An efficient cross-dehydrogenative coupling of quinoline N-oxides and 1,3-azoles has been developed under external oxidant and metal free conditions. The desired products were isolated in good to excellent yields for 26 examples. This methodology provides a practical pathway to biheteroaryls and features high practicality, high efficiency, and environmental friendliness.
