Synthesis of Symmetrical Bisquinolones via Nickel(0)‐Catalyzed Homocoupling of 4‐Chloroquinolones

“…[4] Compounds incorporating symmetrical biaryl moieties also find applications as conductors for thin film transistor applications (e.g., 2,2'-bidithieno[3,2-b:2',3'-d]thiophene), [5] as electronic and optoelectronic materials (e.g., indenofluorenes), [6] as chiral ligands in catalysis (e.g., BINAP) [7] and in chiral or achiral liquid crystals (e.g., paracyclophanes). [8] The biaryl subunit also constitutes an important structural motif in several pharmaceuticals (e.g., in the laxative agent 4,4'-biphenol), [9] and in agrochemicals (e.g., in the non-selective broadspectrum herbicide paraquat).…”

Development of Synergistic, Dual Pd‐Cu@rGO Catalyst for Suzuki, Heck and Click Reactions: Facile Synthesis of Triazole or Tetrazole Containing Biaryls and Stilbenes

“…Suzuki reaction mainly utilized for aryl‐aryl bond formation but Heck reaction used for aryl‐vinyl bond formation. These reactions are largely utilized for the synthesis of natural products, medicinal compounds, supramoleculars, agrochemicals, pharmaceutical products, dyes, and fine chemicals etc . Due to the huge spectrum of applications, Suzuki and Heck earn Noble prize in 2010.…”

Facile construction of symmetric biaryls using (BeDABCO)2Pd2Cl6 as an efficient and highly active catalyst under microwave irradiation

“…Biaryls are applied as key building blocks for many herbicides, pharmaceuticals, natural and bioactive products, microelectrode arrays, conducting polymers and liquid crystal materials and so consequently have attracted much attention for their synthesis. [1][2][3][4][5] Transition metal-catalysed homo-coupling of aryl halides is a very efficient catalytic process for biaryl synthesis. Palladium, [6][7][8][9] nickel, [10] barium, [11] indium, [12] copper and rhodium [13] have been used in these reactions.…”
