A new method has been developed for the nickel-catalyzed homocoupling of methoxyarenes via C–O bond cleavage using a diboron reagent. The use of 1,3-dicyclohexylimidazol-2-ylidene as a ligand was found to be critical to the success of the reaction. This new method allows the synthesis of a wide range of biaryl compounds.
