Pd/Cu-Catalyzed C–H Arylation of 1,3,4-Thiadiazoles with (Hetero)aryl Iodides, Bromides, and Triflates

Abstract

The direct C–H arylation of 1,3,4-thiadiazoles with a wide range of (hetero)­aryl iodides, bromides, and triflates is described using a Pd/Cu-catalyzed protocol. The methodology is compatible with substrates possessing electron-donating or electron-withdrawing substituents and also tolerates sterically hindered aryl halides. The utility of the developed protocol is demonstrated by a one-pot C–H arylation-Suzuki coupling sequence
