Abstract

C60 at 1 mol % loading catalyzed the direct C–H arylation of benzene with aryl iodides in air to yield biaryls. The in situ generation of electron-rich C60(OH)2−, from C60 and OH−, reduced the aryl iodides to aryl radicals for arylation of benzene. The large surface area and spherical shape of C60 facilitated this process.
