Abstract

The scientific importance and commercial value of biaryl compounds is illustrated by their presence in a vast array of natural products, pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and materials.[1] Various highly efficient direct syntheses of these compounds have been reported. Of these approaches, transition-metal-catalyzed reactions constitute one of the predominant strategies.[2] In such reactions, the coupling between an organometallic ...
