title: Biaryl synthesis via palladium-catalyzed aryne multicomponent coupling.
abstract: Aryl iodides have been introduced as electrophiles in the three-component Heck coupling of arynes. Following optimization studies to favor three- versus two-component coupling, the reaction proceeds in good yield to afford a variety of functionalized biaryls.
