The invention relates to an electrochemical method for coupling anilines. When coupling two different anilines, the difference of the oxidation potential of the substrates is in the region of between 10 mV bis 450 mV, and the aniline with the highest oxidation potential is added in excess. Said method enables biaryldiamines to be electrochemically produced and to dispense with multi-step syntheses using metallic reagents.
