Abstract

Heteroarenes are important units in organic chemistry and are ubiquitous in natural products, pharmaceuticals, and numerous artificial molecules. Despite great efforts devoted to accessing heteroarenes, the development of new methods to efficiently produce heteroarenes remains a long-term interest. Recently, the strategy of radical-mediated heteroaryl migration has supplied a robust toolkit for the synthesis of a diversity of heteroaryl-containing compounds. This Account summarizes our recent achievements in this field and provides insight into the incorporation of heteroarenes into organic skeletons.
