An efficient synthesis of biaryls from various aryl halides has been developed and investigated. The coupling reagent is a catalytic mixture of anhydrous NiCl2 and PPh3 in the presence of metallic samarium. The reaction occurs rapidly under mild conditions, tolerates a variety of functional groups with high yields.
