Unsymmetrical biaryl compounds are of considerable interest in organic chemistry. The biaryl structural motif is encountered in a wide variety of organic processes, from supramolecular chemistry [1] to natural products synthesis.[2] Among the innumerable methods for the construction of aryl–aryl bonds, transition-metal-mediated reactions constitute one of the main strategies used.[3] Generally, such reactions involve the coupling of an organometallic reagent (ArM; M= B,[4] Sn,[5] Si,[6] Zn,[7] Mg,[8] Mn [9]) with an aryl halide or pseudohalide. They all require the preparation of a stoichiometric organometallic reagent and typically the presence of a Ni or Pd complex as a catalyst. More recently, it has been shown that iron [10] and cobalt [11] catalysts might be employed as alternatives to expensive precious metals, such as palladium, or toxic metals, such as nickel,[12] in coupling reactions with organometallic reagents. Studies within the realms of metal catalysis have provided several direct aryl–aryl bond-forming transformations for organic synthesis. Catalytic direct arene CÀH cross-coupling [13] and the decarboxylative coupling of aromatic carboxylates [14] with aryl halides can be very efficient; however, these methods often require the use of a base, high temperatures, and expensive catalysts. Other reaction pathways include the palladium-catalyzed reductive coupling of two aryl halides in combination with a reducing agent.[15]In an attempt to couple two different aryl halides, we previously developed electrochemical methods involving either Ni [16] or Co [17] catalysis. However, the transformation is less efficient with aryl chlorides than with aryl bromides, and no reaction was observed with aryl pseudohalides. Moreover, nickel is environmentally hazardous, and a large quantity of the catalyst was required when a cobalt catalyst was used. Motivated by the interest in cobalt-catalyzed reactions [18] and our early success in the use of new cobaltcatalyzed direct procedures [19] as an efficient alternative to
