Azoles have widespread applications in medicinal chemistry; for example, thiazoles, imidazoles, benzimidazoles, isoxazoles, tetrazoles and triazoles appear in the top 25 most frequently used N-heterocycles in FDA-approved drugs. Efficient routes for the late-stage C-H functionalisation of azole cores would therefore be highly desirable. The Minisci reaction, a nucleophilic radical addition reaction onto N-heterocyclic bases, is a direct C-H functionalisation reaction that has the potential to be a powerful method for C-H functionalisations of azole scaffolds.
