Abstract: Hindered biaryls have been simply prepared using diazonium salt precursors and an intramolecular free radical [1, 5] ipso substitution protocol. The introduction of an additional substituent ortho to the diazonium group in the σ aryl radical donor further enforces the formation of ipso substitution products and hence fully hindered biaryls are the favoured products. Key words: radical reactions, biaryls, titanium trichloride, substituent ...
