This paper describes copper‐catalyzed N–C heteroarylation of benzimidazole, 1‐methylbenzimidazolone, imidazole and pyrrole. The products of these reactions then undergo palladium‐catalyzed C–C cross‐couplings with aryl or heteroarylboronic acids under Suzuki–Miyaura conditions to provide a rapid entry, from readily‐available reagents, into tris(hetero)aryl scaffolds comprising two or three N‐heterocyclic rings. The sequential N–C and C–C couplings can be performed in a one‐pot process (two examples are given: >50 % overall yields). (© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2008)
