tert-Butoxide-Mediated Arylation of Benzene with Aryl Halides in the Presence of a Catalytic 1,10-Phenanthroline Derivative
Sodium terf-butoxide mediates the coupling of aryl halides with benzene derivatives without the aid of transition metal catalysts but with a catalytic 1,10-phenanthroline derivative.
