Beyond a doubt organocatalysis belongs to the most exciting and innovative chapters of
organic chemistry today. Organocatalysis has emerged not only as a complement to metal …

Many recent studies have used KO t Bu in organic reactions that involve single electron
transfer; in the literature, the electron transfer is proposed to occur either directly from the …

The synthesis of biaryl compounds by the transition-metal free coupling of arenes is an
important contemporary challenge, aiming to avoid the toxicity and cost profiles associated …

Despite the wide use of aryl radicals in organic synthesis, current methods to prepare them
from aryl halides, carboxylic acids, boronic acids, and diazonium salts suffer from limitations …

The CRISPR-based nucleic acid detection systems have shown great potential for point-of-

Recent papers report transition metal-free couplings of haloarenes to arenes to form biaryls,
triggered by alkali metal tert-butoxides in the presence of various additives. These reactions …

The efficient generation of biaryl compounds and heterocycles via the advent of the
transition-metal-free coupling reaction constitutes an important development in the last few …

Coupling of haloarenes to arenes has been facilitated by a diverse range of organic
additives in the presence of KO t Bu or NaO t Bu since the first report in 2008. Very recently …
