36. For a recent minireview, see: Patureau, F.; Glorius, F. Angew. Chem., Int. Ed. 2011, 10.1002/anie.201007241 It is interesting to note that, whereas the term "external oxidant" seems to be unambiguous, the term "internal oxidant" can either mean simply that one of the substrates acts as an oxidation equivalent or, in a more limited usage, that the catalyst gets oxidized internally before, at, or after the reaction event. For example, the halide group of aryl halides represents a truly internal oxidant in reactions like the Heck reaction.
