Abstract

The anodic C–C cross-coupling reaction provides fast access to a wide range of bi- and terarylic scaffolds by electrochemically mediated arylation reactions. Herein, a metal- and reagent-free electrosynthetic protocol for the synthesis of nonsymmetrical 2-hydroxy-para-teraryl derivatives is presented for the first time. It is scalable, easy to conduct, and allows the use of a broad variety of different functional groups.
