The double protonation of dihapto-coordinated benzene complexes enables dearomatization using aromatic nucleophiles
Abstract Friedel-Crafts Arylation (the Scholl reaction) is the coupling of two aromatic rings with the aid of a strong Lewis or Brønsted acid. This historically significant C–C bond forming reaction normally leads to aromatic products, often as oligomeric mixtures, dictated by the large stabilizatio...
