Palladium-catalyzed deamidative arylation of azoles with arylamides through a tandem decarbonylation–C–H functionalization

A highly chemo-, regio-selective, and efficient palladium-catalyzed deamidative arylation of azoles with arylamides, as an aryl metal equivalent, has been developed. The reaction proceeds smoothly to generate the corresponding products in good yields via a tandem decarbonylation-C-H activation.
