The abundance of the biaryl structural motif in natural products, in biologically active
molecules and in materials chemistry has positioned aryl–aryl (Ar–Ar) bond formation high …

In recent years, palladium-catalysed arylation of heteroaromatics via C–H bond activation
has become a popular method for generating carbon–carbon bonds. For this reaction, a …

The C–N cross-coupling chemistry intensely developed since the late 1990s has supplied
synthesists with an overwhelming number of methods to effectively combine carbon and …

Conditions for the palladium-catalyzed direct arylation of a wide range of heterocycles with
aryl bromides are reported. Those conditions employ a stoichiometric ratio of both coupling …

(Hetero) aryl groups directly connected by single Csp2–Csp2 bonds to heteroaryl moieties
are present as core structures in many biologically active compounds, 1 naturally-occurring …

Through the introduction of an aryl chloride substituent, the selectivity of palladium-catalyzed
direct arylation may be diverted to provide alternative regioisomeric products in high yields …

A novel ionic liquid functionalized magnetic nanoparticle was prepared by anchoring an
imidazolium ionic liquid bearing triethylene glycol moieties on the surface of silica-coated …

The formation of carbon-carbon bonds by transition metal-catalysed direct functionalisation
of C–H bonds has recently emerged as a greener alternative to traditional cross-coupling …

Imidazoles are an important group of the azole family of heterocycles frequently found in
pharmaceuticals, drug candidates, ligands for transition metal catalysts, and other molecular …

The present review refers to catalytic methods to arylate arene or heteroarene compounds.
The resulting compounds are ubiquitous in biology and in pharmaceuticals or fine chemicals …
