Abstract
An efficient synthesis of biaryls through a gold‐catalyzed oxidative cross‐coupling of arenes with strong electron‐deprived aryl boronates is presented herein. Regio‐ and chemocontrol are achieved by the selective activation of these coupling partners by gold at different oxidation states. Under reaction conditions devoid of basic additives or directing groups, the role of acetato ligand as an internal base has been revealed as a key parameter for expanding the reaction scope in these transformations.
