Simple and efficient procedures for palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions of N-substituted 4-bromo-7-azaindole (1H-pyrrole[2,3-b]pyridine), with amides, amines, amino acid esters and phenols through C–N and C–O bond formation have been developed. The C–N cross-coupling reaction of amides, amines and amino acid esters takes place rapidly by using the combination of Xantphos, Cs2CO3, dioxane and palladium catalyst precursors Pd(OAc)2/Pd2(dba)3. The combination of Pd(OAc)2, Xantphos, K2CO3 and dioxane was found to be crucial for the C–O cross-coupling reaction. This is the first report on coupling of amides, amino acid esters and phenols with N-protected 4-bromo-7-azaindole derivatives.

A rapid and highly efficient copper(II)-catalyzed cross-dehydrogenative coupling (CDC) reaction of N-arylglycine esters with imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines has been described. A broad range of N-arylglycine esters underwent the CDC reaction smoothly with 2-arylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridines to give α-substituted α-amino acid esters in excellent yields. This synthetic method has the advantages of high yields, good functional groups compatibility, simple operation, and mild reaction conditions. A possible mechanism for the CDC reaction is also proposed. The use of a copper salt as the catalyst and air as the terminal oxidant makes this transformation sustainable and practical.

A simple and highly efficient cross-dehydrogenative-­coupling (CDC) reaction between N-aryl glycine esters and imides or amides by the catalysis of a copper salt without the requirement of ­peroxide agents is described. The novel reaction provides a facile ­approach for the synthesis of α-substituted α-amino acid esters through C–H/N–H oxidative cross-coupling. A possible mechanism for the CDC reaction by using copper as a catalyst and air as the terminal oxidant is also proposed. This synthetic approach has the advantages of good yields, simple operation and mild reaction conditions.
