Procedure

First, 34.6 g of 4-bromphenol, 37.9 g of 2,3-difluorophenylboronic acid, 380 ml of dimethoxyethane, 380 ml of water, 97.8 g of cesium carbonate, and 7 g of tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium were placed in a 1 L flask. The mixture was stirred under reflux for 20 hours. The reaction mixture was poured into water and an organic layer was extracted with ether. The ether layer was washed with water and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. Thereafter, the solvent was distilled away. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (eluent: toluene/ethyl acetate=9/1) and recrvstallized from hexane to obtain 30.9 g of 2,3-difluoro-4'-hydroxybiphenyl (Y: 75%). The compound thus obtained had a purity of 99.8% by GC and an m.p. of 132° C. to 134.4° C.
