Abstract
Cobalt(ii)-complex catalyzes efficiently the intramolecular C-N and C-O cross-couplings of Z-N'-(2-halophenyl)-N-phenylamidines and N-(2-bromophenyl)benzamides to afford the corresponding substituted benzimidazoles and benzoxazoles in the presence of K(2)CO(3) at moderate temperature. The protocol is general, air stable and affords the products selectively in moderate to high yield.
