Construction of N-containing heterocycles via oxidative intramolecular N–H/X–H coupling

Abstract

The preparation of N-containing heterocycles is always the core of synthetic chemistry. Recently, oxidative coupling between two R–H nucleophiles is gaining more attention due to its atom-economy and step-economy, thus there are numerous reports focusing on the N-heterocycle construction via oxidative coupling. This feature article is going to cover the methodology related to the construction of N-heterocycles through oxidative intramolecular N–H/X–H coupling.
