From noble to normal : Many transition‐metal complexes have shown a remarkable ability to catalyze the cross‐coupling of aryl halides with arenes (see scheme). The formation of biaryls has thus been achieved using inexpensive, readily available, and sometimes nontoxic transition‐metal complexes. Not only “noble” transition metals, but also many of the “normal” transition metals are able to promote the direct transformation of CH bonds.
