Reactivity trends for mechanochemical reductive coupling of aryl iodides Green Chem. Lett. Rev. (IF 6.6) Pub Date : 2023-02-10 Courtney Carson, Joshua Hassing, Trinity Olguin, Karl P. Peterson, Rebecca A. Haley
ABSTRACT Reductive coupling reactions are a facile and versatile way to make carbon – carbon bonds. However, most methods within this class of reactions makes use of reprotoxic, amide-based solvents. Mechanochemistry, a method that does not always require solvent, has been used for reductive coupling methods but still reports the use of at least some amide-based solvent for productive outcomes. This
