Abstract
Carbon–carbon bond formation is important in organic synthesis for the preparation of natural products, organic materials and polymers and so on. An efficient and mild reductive homocoupling of arylmethyl halides is now described. Treatment of various benzylic halides in the presence of zero valent iron nanoparticles (nZVI) and a catalytic amount of CuBr in air and water at room temperature afforded 1,2-diarylethanes in excellent yields.
