title: Transition-metal-free one-pot synthesis of biaryls from Grignard reagents and substituted cyclohexanones.
abstract: A new strategy for the construction of biaryls by a transition-metal-free process is presented. A sequence of a Grignard reaction, dehydration, and oxidative aromatization affords the desired products in a one-pot fashion.
