The highly selective formation of biaryls by the cyclization of arylethynes catalyzed by vanadyl phthalocyanine

Abstract

The dimerization of arylethynes catalyzed by vanadium phthalocyanine to give substituted biaryls has been investigated. The reaction yield is always high and for many examples is only slightly affected by the aryl substituents. This fact is also related to the results obtained with metalloporphyrins, which give lower selectivities due to the presence of variable amounts of triphenylbenzenes.
