Abstract

Unsymmetrical polyaryls are electrosynthesized in liquid ammonia by a single-step Swl reaction in the presence of a redox mediator starting from aromatic halides and 2, 6-di-tert- butyl phenoxide. With monoaryl halides activated by electron-withdrawing substituents (N of pyridyl or quinolyl, trifluoromethyl, cyano, sulfone, ester, ketone, alkyl sulfide, Nf of anilinium), biaryls are obtained in good yields (between 50 and 95%). The yields of ter- ...
