[The reaction was very exothermic and complete solution is brought about by the increase in temperature]. The catalyst was removed by filtration through glass microfibre filter paper [if any crystalline product is present the filter cake is washed with dichloromethane] and the filtrate evaporated to dryness to afford 5′-amino-4,2′-difluorobiphenyl-2-carbonitrile as a straw-coloured solid (23 g, 100%): 1H NMR (360 MHz, CDCl3) δ 3.66 (2H, s), 6.66-6.70 (1H, m), 6.71-6.74 (1H, m), 7.00 (1H, dd, J 9, 9 Hz), 7.33-7.38 (1H, m), 7.44-7.49 (1H, m).
