Abstract
The consumable anode process allows the electrochemical cross-coupling reaction between various functionalized aromatic halides (iodides, bromides and chlorides) in the presence of cobalt halides as catalyst in a mixed solvent acetonitrile/pyridine (9:1). A great variety of unsymmetrical biaryls are obtained in moderate to excellent yields.
