“…An aryl transfer has also been used in the synthesis of 5,8-disubstituted α-tetralones [16], bis-C-glycosylated diphenylmethanes [161], Cglycosylated biphenyls [162], and 8-substituted tetracycline derivatives [163] (in this context, alkynyl transfer was also reported). Reactions between sterically encumbered aryl stannanes and 2-bromonaphthoquinones were reported by Echavarren et al [164], while Albrecht and Williams [165] assembled the biaryl moiety of the TMC-95 natural products by a Stille coupling, and Gundersen et al [166] prepared a series of 6-arylpurines to study their antibacterial activity. Okujima et al [167] prepared 6-tributylstannylazulene (the first organotin with an azulene moiety) from 6-bromoazulene and hexabutylditin; coupling with aryl and azulenyl halides was successful.…”
