title: Nickel-catalyzed selective defluorination to generate partially fluorinated biaryls.
abstract: A Ni-catalyzed, chemoselective cross-coupling reaction of polyfluoroarenes under mild reaction conditions is reported. A variety of fluorine-containing biaryls are synthesized in good-to-excellent yields. A wide range of substitution patterns and functional groups are tolerated.
