Synthesis of Aryl(di)azinylmethanes and Bis(di)azinylmethanes via Transition-Metal-Catalyzed Cross-Coupling Reactions

Abstract

Aryl(di)azinyl- and bis(di)azinylmethane motifs are important as they are found in a number of pharmaceuticals and their precursors. An exhaustive overview of transition metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions for their synthesis has been provided.
