title: Decarboxylative homocoupling of (hetero)aromatic carboxylic acids.
abstract: A variety of hetero(aromatic) carboxylic acids are shown to undergo decarboxylative homocoupling, mediated by a Pd/Ag system. This novel methodology for the synthesis of symmetrical biaryls avoids the use of haloarenes and organometallic compounds as starting materials.
