title: Transition-metal-free atropo-selective synthesis of biaryl compounds based on arynes.
abstract: A modular way towards biaryls: Highly enantioenriched biphenyls can be prepared based on a transition-metal-free aryl-aryl coupling followed by efficient desymmetrization or deracemization and chemoselective functionalization (see scheme).
