Abstract

We herein report a simple and concise route for the synthesis of highly substituted imidazole derivatives via copper-mediated oxidative C-H functionalization in good to high yields. The advantage of the reaction lies in its mild reaction conditions and readily available starting materials.

Keywords: C–H functionalization; Imidazole; Oxidative dehydrogenation
