39. Very recently, we reported an expedient synthetic procedure of benzil derivatives from aryl bromides using vinylene carbonate in a palladium-catalyzed reaction. During the reaction we found that aryl bromides could be converted to biaryls by benzoin via a palladium-catalyzed redox process. Thus we examined the same conditions for the reductive aryl coupling of bromobenzene, see: K.H. Kim, B.R. Park, J.W. Lim, and J.N. Kim Tetrahedron Lett. 52 2011 3463 3466
