Significance
The authors report a copper-catalyzed cross-coupling of racemic bromides with azole C–H bonds. The use of a copper(I)/cinchona-alkaloid-derived N,N,P-ligand catalytic system leads to the enantiomerically enriched α-chiral heteroarene products in high enantioselectivity.

Comment
A mechanism based on experimental studies is proposed. The results indicate the presence of an alkyl radical species. A subsequent transformation of the 1,3,4-oxadiazole products into 1,2,4 triazole is reported.
