Abstract
Suzuki–Miyaura reactions of aromatic bis-triflates, readily available from the corresponding hydroxylated arenes, often proceed with excellent regioselectivity and provide a convenient approach to various arylated benzene derivatives, such as biphenyls, terphenyls, and arylated benzophenones, naphthalenes, xanthones, flavones, coumarins, anthraquinones, tetralones, and fluorenones. The regioselectivity is controlled by steric and electronic parameters and strongly depends on the structure of the substrates.
