A one-pot route to p-terphenyls is described. Addition of l, 4-dibromo-2, 5-diiodobenzene, 1, to excess aryl Grignard reagent gives the terphenyl di-Grignard 2 and the trihalo mono-Grignard 5. After aqueous quench, p-terphenyls are isolated in 30% to 50+% yield (Table I). This yield can be improved to 70-80% by adding potassium tert-butoxide or lithium tetramethylpiperidide to the reaction mixture prior to workup. Mechanisms involving organometallic aryne intermediates are proposed. With o-bromoiodoarenes in place of tetrahaloarenes the method can be adapted to prepare unsymmetric biaryls in good yield (Table II).The formation of aryl-aryl bonds continues to be an important problem in organic synthesis, and a substantial number of methods for effecting this construction are known. 2, 3 Venerable methods still used, often with improved modifications, include the Ullmann, the Pschorr and Gomberg-Bachmann-Hey reactions, and the benzi-dine rearrangement. Newer methods involve mainly ox-idative coupling of arenes, aryl halides, phenols, and other aromatic derivatives, using as reagents transition metals, chemical oxidants, or electrochemical methods. 1 234 Photo-
