46. Hoarau and co-workers reported a palladium-catalyzed direct coupling of oxazole-4-carboxylate with allyl chlorides. However, the corresponding alkenylated products were isolated as a result of the concomitant olefin isomerization: C. Verrier, C. Hoarau, F. Marsais, Org. Biomol. Chem. 2009, 7, 647.

110. 2]/phen had little influence on the regio- and stereochemical outcomes and they possessed lower catalytic activity.
111. N2′ product 3ai′ with high E selectivity was observed (see the following equation). For an addition/elimination pathway in the metal-catalyzed allylic substitution, see: H. Ohmiya, U. Yokoi, Y. Makida, M. Sawamura, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2010, 132, 2895; Ref. [1e,h,j]. (Chemical Equation Presented)
112. An initial study into the application to 1,3,4-oxadiazole was successful (see the following equation). Attempts to apply the present copper catalytic systems to other acidic azoles such as benzoxazole, benzothiazole, and benzimidazole were unsuccessful (<2% yield by gas chromatography analysis. Further optimization and details will be reported in due course. (Chemical Equation Presented)
