Direct cross-coupling of Csp2-H/Csp2-H bonds of two arenes was achieved in 30-76% yield via sequential directedortho cuprations (DoCu) with the cuprate base (TMP)2Cu(CN)Li2 (1, TMP = 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidido), followed by oxidation. This methodology offers easy access to unsymmetric biaryls from arenes with a variety of directed metalation groups (DMGs) and ancillary functional groups, taking
