No Detours: Palladium-Catalyzed Oxidative C-H/C-H Cross-Couplings of Heteroarenes

Recent developments in the field of intermolecular cross-couplings between heteroarenes through dual C-H bond cleavage under oxidative conditions are reviewed. The use of palladium catalysts allows for regioselective carbon-carbon bond formations between important classes of heteroarenes without the need to prefunctionalize the positions that shall be linked.
