title: Palladium-catalyzed reductive homocoupling of N'-tosyl arylhydrazines.
abstract: A novel procedure for the preparation of biaryl compounds by Pd-catalyzed homocoupling of N'-tosyl arylhydrazine has been described. N'-Tosyl arylhydrazine, as a readily available and stable coupling partner, demonstrated its generality in the homocoupling reactions. The scope of the reaction and possible mechanism have also been investigated.
