Coupling reactions between haloarenes and arenes(including heteroarenes)that are conducted without added transition metals but in the presence of KOtBu or NaOtBu,have been a topic of great interest since their discove...
Symmetry and pattern are valuable forms of beauty that can be cherished on both the macroscopic and molecular levels. Scientists have always appreciated the intimate connections between symmetry and molecular structur...
