A metal-free protocol for the direct bis-arylation of 2,5-dichlorobenzoquinone with aryldiazonium salts is reported in this study. The reactive salts are generated in situ and converted to radicals through irradiation with visible light. Furthermore, reaction products precipitate from the solvent, eliminating the need for purification and providing a novel green method for the synthesis of versatile bis-electrophiles.
