Copper-Catalyzed Dehydrogenative Cross-Coupling of Benzothiazoles with Thiazoles and Polyfluoroarene

A copper-catalyzed dehydrogenative cross-coupling of benzothiazoles with thiazoles and polyfluoroarene under mild reaction conditions is described. This protocol provides a straightforward and operationally simple method for the synthesis of the 2,2'-linkage of thiazoles and 2-polyfluoroarylthiazoles of interest in life and material sciences.
