title: Novel electron-transfer oxidation of Lipshutz cuprates with 1,4-benzoquinones: an efficient homo-coupling reaction of aryl halides and its application to the construction of macrocyclic systems.
abstract: The electron transfer reaction from Lipshutz cuprates, which can be easily prepared from aryl bromides, to 1,4-benzoquinones was found to proceed smoothly, affording either the corresponding homo-coupling products, in modest to excellent yields, or macrocyclic products selectively.
