Although other studies have reported that highly polar solvents (such as DMSO) or bases are required, this reaction was completed by using CuTC and common solvents under neutral conditions at room temperature. This cross-coupling reaction was performed with diaryl ditellurides and arylboronic acids bearing various groups, affording the corresponding diaryl tellurides in good to excellent yields.
