The formation of polyanilines is avoided in an anodic coupling of anilines with simple and easily removable carbonyl‐based protecting groups. In their Communication on page 4877 ff., S. R. Waldvogel and co‐workers present a facile method for the electrolytic synthesis of protected 2,2′‐diaminobiaryl derivatives in high yield and excellent selectivity by oxidative cross‐coupling. The use of 1,1,1,3,3,3‐hexafluoro‐2‐propanol as the solvent allows for clean electrochemical conversion.
