Abstract

Biaryls are an important group found in a wide range of compounds such as natural products, polymers, liquid crystals, and ligands for transition-metal catalysts.[1] The direct cross-coupling [2] of arene CÀH bonds is an attractive and convenient method for the synthesis of biaryls that avoids the prefunctionalization of the starting materials (Scheme 1) required for conventional cross-coupling reactions [3] between aryl halides and ...
