24. Generally the coupling of free aryl radicals is not synthetically useful. For a recent oxidative homocoupling of aryl Grignard reagents mediated or catalyzed by the free radical TEMPO, see: M. S. Maji, T Pfeifer, A. Studer, Angew. Chem. 2008, 120, 9690;
25. Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2008, 47, 9547. The mechanism has, however, not been elucidated.
