/bjoc.13.162 Abstract Nitrogenheteroarenes form an important class of compounds which can be found in natural products, synthetic drugs, building blocks etc. Among the diverse strategies that were developed for the synthesis of nitrogen heterocycles, oxidative dehydrogenation is extremely effective
. This review discusses various oxidative dehydrogenation strategies of C–C and C–N bonds to generate nitrogenheteroarenes from their corresponding heterocyclic substrates. The strategies are categorized under stoichiometric and catalytic usage of reagents that facilitate such transformations. The
nitrogenheteroarenes.
