Abstract

Abstract An ultrasound-assisted synthesis of symmetrical biaryls with electron-withdrawing or-donating substituents is described and illustrated by palladium-catalyzed homocoupling reaction of aryl tellurides. This procedure offers easy access to biaryls in short reaction time, and the products are achieved in good to excellent yields.
