Abstract

1,2,3-Triazol-5-ylidene copper(I) complexes (tzNHC-Cu) efficiently catalyzed the direct C-H carboxylation of benzoxazole and benzothiazole derivatives with CO(2) to give the corresponding esters in excellent yields after treatment with alkyl iodide. The tzNHC copper(I) complex, i.e., [(TPr)CuCl], worked somewhat more effectively than the corresponding imidazol-2-ylidene copper(I) complex [(IPr)CuCl] to give the carboxylation product in higher yields.
