Cyanoborohydride-promoted radical arylation of benzene.
Radical biaryl coupling of iodoarenes and benzene can be effectively promoted by tetrabutylammonium cyanoborohydride with air under photoirradiation conditions using a Xe lamp. The utility of this methodology is highlighted by its functional group tolerance and chemoselectivity.
