Abstract

Biaryls are ubiquitous structural motifs in functional molecules, natural products, and ligands for catalysis. Several synthetic methods have been developed for the construction of biaryl skeletons. 1 Transition metal catalyzed cross-coupling reactions between arylmetal compounds and aryl halides are one of the most reliable and efficient methods for preparing unsymmetrical biaryls. 2 On the other hand, symmetrical biaryls are synthesized by homocoupling ...
