Abstract

Functionalized biaryl derivatives have been prepared by applying [2+2+2] cyclotrimerization with the aid of Grubbs’ first-generation catalyst (G-I). The trimerized products were subjected to the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction sequence to generate highly functionalized biaryl derivatives.
