The transformation is chemo- and regioselective and many functional groups on both coupling partners are tolerated. The method employs cheap nickel/copper catalysts, and expands significantly the scope of CH functionalization.C-H activationsynthetic methodscross-couplingheterocycleshomogeneous catalysistext::journal::journal article::research article
