Transition-metal-free Coupling Reactions of Aryl Halides


Transition metal catalysis plays a leading role in C(sp2)–C(sp2) bond formation through substitution reactions. On the other hand, a similar type of substitution reaction has recently been achieved without the aid of transition-metal catalysts. In this review, recent transition-metal-free coupling reactions of aryl halides with arenes, alkenes, or aryl Grignard reagents are summarized in view of SRN1 reaction.
