Cobalt-Catalyzed Oxidative Homocoupling of Arylzinc Species

Dedicated to the memory of Professor Jean F. Normant; a brilliant scientist and a great person

Abstract

A novel procedure for the synthesis of functionalized symmetrical biaryl compounds is described. The reaction proceeds via the oxidative homocoupling of arylzinc species formed by cobalt catalysis in the presence of air or p-benzoquinone depending on the nature of the functional group.

Key words

homocoupling - arylzinc - cobalt - symmetrical biaryl - oxidative coupling - air - p-benzoquinone
