The electrosynthesis <strong>of</strong> aryldiz<strong>in</strong>c species can also be achieved us<strong>in</strong>g dibromobenzenes<br />

and cobalt catalysis with moderate to excellent yields [38]. At 4 F mol ±1 ,<br />

only the diz<strong>in</strong>c species is obta<strong>in</strong>ed (Eq. (19)). However, analysis <strong>of</strong> the solution<br />

after consumption <strong>of</strong> 2F/mol <strong>of</strong> ArX 2 shows the formation <strong>of</strong> a mixture <strong>of</strong> mono<br />

(Br-Ar-ZnBr) and diz<strong>in</strong>c (BrZn-Ar-ZnBr) compounds.<br />

Only ortho-dibromobenzenes are little reactive (16% from ortho-dibromobenzene).<br />

These diz<strong>in</strong>c species react with phenyl iodide us<strong>in</strong>g palladium as catalyst:<br />

In the same procedure, dichlorobenzene reagents give a mixture <strong>of</strong> mono and<br />

diz<strong>in</strong>c compounds at 4 F mol ±1 <strong>of</strong> Cl 2Ar. The entire start<strong>in</strong>g reagent is consumed<br />

only when dichlorobenzene is activated with an electron-withdraw<strong>in</strong>g group (Eq.<br />

(21)) (with dichlorobenzene, 51% <strong>of</strong> the start<strong>in</strong>g product is recovered at 4 F mol ±1 ).<br />
