Nickel-2,2'-bipyridine complexes are useful catalysts in the preparation of unsymmetrical biaryls by electroreduction of a mixture of two aryl halides which are para-substituted with electron acceptors and electron donors, respectively.The syntheses were carried out in N-methylpyrrolidone by constant current electrolyses in an undivided cell fitted with a sacrificial magnesium anode.
