title: Direct arylation of arene and N-heteroarenes with diaryliodonium salts without the use of transition metal catalyst.
abstract: A novel and simple transition metal-free direct arylation of arene and N-heteroarenes with diaryliodonium salts has been developed. This cross-coupling reaction is promoted only by base and gives the desired products in moderate to good yields.
