Phosphine Ligand Triggered Oxidative Decarbonylative Homocoupling of Aro-matic Aldehydes: Selectively Generation Biaryls and Diarylketones. — Novel rhodium-catalyzed oxidative decarbonylative homocoupling of aryl aldehydes (I) in the presence of triphenylphosphine affords biaryls (II) as main products and diaryl ketones as by-products. However, the reaction in the presence of dppe leads selectively to di-arylketones (III). — (YANG, L.; ZENG, T.; SHUAI, Q.; GUO, X.; LI*, C.-J.; Chem. Commun.
