Oxidative dimerization of azoles via copper(II)/silver(I)-catalyzed CH homocoupling

When several azole derivatives such as imidazole, thiazole, and oxazole are treated with a catalyst system of copper(II)/silver(I) under oxygen atmosphere, oxidative dimerization at the CH bond of the 2-position takes place to afford the corresponding bisazoles up to 86% yield. When several azole de...
