Copper catalysts oxidative biaryl coupling

Hewgley, B., Stahl S. and Kozlowski, M. (2008). Mechanistic Study of Asymmetric Oxidative Biaryl Coupling evidence for Self-Processing of the Copper Catalyst to Achieve Control of Oxidase vs Oxygenase Activity, J. Am. Chem. Soc., 130, pp. 12232-12233. 

Enantioselective synthesis of axially chiral biaryls include all approaches where the starting material is achiral and the chirality is induced by an influence of chiral catalyst or reagent. Among enantioselective reactions that have been successfully used in the synthesis of axially chiral biaryls are the Kharasch reaction [34-36], Suzuki-Miyaura reaction [37,38], oxidative phenolic coupling mediated by copper complexes...
