Abstract
Abstract A simple 1,3-diethylurea was demonstrated to catalyze transition-metal-free arylations of unactivated aromatic C H bonds with aryl iodides in the presence of t-BuOK. A broad range of aryl iodides with different arenes could couple in moderate to excellent yields. The mechanistic experiment results indicated that the radical is involved in this transformation.
