We disclose an efficient and operationally simple protocol for the preparation of fused N-heterocycles starting from readily available 2-nitrobiaryls and PhMgBr under mild conditions. More than two dozen N-heterocycles, including two bioactive natural products, have been synthesized using this method. A stepwise electrophilic aromatic cyclization mechanism was proposed by DFT calculations. Controlled fusion: A transition-metal-free, low-temperature, and regioselective intramolecular amination of aromatic C(sp2)-H bonds provides fused N-heterocycles. This reaction is operationally simple and scalable (1-10 mmol) and the scope of substrates is wide (see scheme). Density functional calculations indicate that a stepwise electrophilic aromatic cyclization mechanism may be operative.

(Figure Presented) A bimetallic copper/palladium catalyst system is disclosed that enables the use of tosylates as carbon electrophiles in decarboxylative coupling reactions. A variety of aromatic carboxylate salts, regardless of their substitution pattern, have been coupled with these inexpensive and readily available electrophiles to give the corresponding biaryl compounds in good yields (see scheme).
