title: Selective Cross-Electrophile Coupling by Dual Catalysis.
abstract: Palladium and nickel: This Highlight summarizes recent developments in the area of dual-catalytic Ullman-type coupling reactions of aryl bromides and triflates: Weix and co-workers took advantage of the different selectivities and stabilities of palladium and nickel catalysts to favor the desired cross-coupling and suppress homocoupling.
