This document summarizes the development of a new methodology for synthesizing symmetrical biaryls using palladium-catalyzed detelluration of symmetrical diaryl tellurides. Key points discussed include: 1) Biaryls have applications in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and polymers. 2) A new method is developed using palladium-catalyzed detelluration of symmetrical diaryl tellurides to synthesize various symmetrical biaryls. 3) This new method provides more benign alternatives for synthesizing biaryl-containing pharmaceutical drugs.
