Abstract

A facile and versatile catalytic system involving copper catalyst, K3PO4 as the base, and O2 as the oxidant enables an efficient synthesis of 2,4,6-trisubstituted and 2,6-disubstituted 1,3,5-triazines and 1,3-disubstituted 1,2,4-triazoles from amidines with trialkylamines, DMSO, and DMF as the reaction partners, respectively. This protocol features an inexpensive catalyst, a green oxidant, good functional group tolerance, and high regioselectivity.
