Abstract
Section titled “Abstract”It’s electrifying! Electrochemical cross-coupling of aryl compounds provides a one-step approach to unsymmetrical biaryl compounds. A boron-doped diamond electrode is used as the anode to oxidise the phenolic hydroxy group to a phenoxy radical, with 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoroisopropylalcohol (HFIP) and tetraalkylammonium methylsulfate used as the solvent and electrolyte. Since no reagents are required, no waste is formed from this source.
