Summary
Radical arylations can either be performed by SRN1 reactions or by homolytic aromatic substitutions. The SRN1 type reactions have recently been reviewed [1] and will not be included in the present article. Because of space limitations this review will focus on examples mostly from the recent literature. Especially for the older literature, we refer to several good review articles on homolytic aromatic substitutions which appeared in the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s [2].
