Significance

The direct coupling of arylboronic acids to electron-deficient N-heterocycles is described. The reaction is catalyzed by silver nitrate in the presence of a persulfate co-oxidant under ambient conditions. It does not require prefunctionalization of the heterocycle and shows a high functional group tolerance.
