Iron-Mediated Direct Arylation of Unactivated Arenes

Inexpensive and straightforward, an iron-mediated cross-coupling reaction generates biaryl compounds through CH bond activation, using easily handled reagents with low toxicity. Under the optimized reaction conditions a series of substituted phenylboronic acids were coupled with several simple unactivated arenes.
