A copper(I)-catalyzed procedure for the synthesis of benzo[b]heterocycles. This protocol can be used to synthesize a variety of 2-arylbenzo[b]furans and indoles in good to excellent yields. This method can tolerate a variety of functional groups, does not require the use of expensive additives and is palladium-free.

Methods and systems for preparing fused heterocyclic compounds using copper(I) catalysts

A copper(I) bi-dentate ligand complex-catalyzed procedure for synthesis of 1,3-enynes. The methods and/or systems of this invention afford a variety of enynes, tolerate a variety of sensitive functional groups, and can be employed without resort to expensive palladium reagents.
