The use of atmospheric oxygen as the oxidant makes the system environmentally friendly. The reaction system is compatible with diverse functionality to afford biaryls in appreciable yields. © The Royal Society of Chemistry 2013.Atmospheric oxygenCatalytic systemGrignard reagentHomocouplingNickel complexOne-pot synthesisReaction systemRoom temperature
