title: Quinonediimine-induced oxidative coupling of organomagnesium reagents.
abstract: N,N'-Diphenyl-p-benzoquinonediimine, a redox-active unit of polyaniline, efficiently induced the oxidative homocoupling of various aryl- and vinylmagnesium reagents in suppressing the side reactions, such as 1,2- or 1,4-addition reaction.
