Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <bold>Gold brings us together</bold>: Taking advantage of the orthogonal reactivities of Au^I and Au^III towards CH activation of electron‐poor and electron‐rich arenes, respectively, a novel approach for the synthesis of biaryls through double CH activation is proposed. Stoichiometric studies demonstrate that these oxidative couplings occur with high selectivity at low temperature.<boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgg1v48gg8g" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
