Carbon dioxide was found to promote the palladium-catalyzed zinc-mediated reductive Ullmann coupling of aryl halides. In the presence of carbon dioxide, Pd/C, and zinc, various aromatic halides including less reactive aromatic chlorides were coupled to give the corresponding homocoupling products in good yields.

Cu-mediated Ullmann-type coupling reactions are fundamental to organic synthesis, garnering significant academic and industrial interest since their inception. Optimizing reaction parameters, particularly temperature control, is crucial for maximizing efficiency while maintaining high yields. Bidentate ligands, such as amino acids, have demonstrated potential in facilitating these reactions at lower temperatures (<100 °C).

ConspectusThe innovation of chiral ligands has been crucial for the asymmetric synthesis of functional molecules, as demonstrated by several types of widely applied "privileged" ligands. In this context, chiral pyridine-derived ligands, by far some of the oldest and most widely utilized ligands in catalysis, have attracted considerable research interest in the past half-century. However, the development of broadly applicable chiral pyridine units (CPUs) has been plagued by several intertwining challenges, thus delaying advancements in many asymmetric reactions.

Ullmann-like on-surface synthesis is one of the most appropriate approaches for the bottom-up fabrication of covalent organic nanostructures and many successes have been achieved. The Ullmann reaction requires the oxidative addition of a catalyst (a metal atom in most cases): the metal atom will insert into a carbon-halogen bond, forming organometallic intermediates, which are then reductively eliminated and form C-C covalent bonds. As a result, traditional Ullmann coupling involves reactions of multiple steps, making it difficult to control the final product.
