Particularly sustainable : The anodic cross‐coupling reaction between phenols and arenes can be performed on boron‐doped diamond electrodes. The arylated products are formed directly and obtained, in some cases, with high selectivity. Since only hydrogen atoms are sacrificed in the course of reaction this methodology opens the door to a novel concept for biaryl formation.
