Abstract

Reductive homocoupling of aryl halides in the presence of commercial zinc dust and triethylammonium formate in methanol produces biaryls in good to excellent yields. Aryl halides having either electron-donating or electron -withdrawing groups underwent smooth coupling to afford the corresponding symmetrical biaryls. The reductive coupling did not occur without triethylammonium formate. Addition of one equivalent of sodium hydroxide enhanced the coupling reaction rate. The commercial zinc dust is inexpensive, widely available and can be used without any auxiliary catalysts such as Pd(0) and/or Ni(0).
