Pool and couple: A method for oxidative C-H/C-H cross-coupling has been developed using "radical-cation pools". Aromatic compounds react with aryl radical cations, which are generated and accumulated by low-temperature electrolysis (see scheme). This method avoids both the nonselective oxidation of substrates and oxidation of products and effects the C-H/C-H cross-coupling of aromatic compounds without metal complexes and chemical oxidants.
