Photoinduced Copper‐Catalyzed C−H Arylation at Room Temperature

Abstract Room‐temperature azole C−H arylations were accomplished with inexpensive copper(I) compounds by means of photoinduced catalysis. The expedient copper catalysis set the stage for site‐selective C−H arylations of non‐aromatic oxazolines under mild reaction conditions, and provides step‐economical access to the alkaloid natural products balsoxin and texamine.
