Abstract

Oxidative coupling of organometallic nucleophiles leads to the formation of a new carbon–carbon bond, which is considered to be a complementary method for the conventional nucleophile–electrophile coupling. The oxidative homo-coupling of aryl-metal reagents by transition-metal oxidants has been widely studied to offer a useful method for the construction of symmetrical biaryl backbones. 1 However, oxidative cross-coupling is usually difficult to perform because of ...
