Procedure

A 50 mL round-bottom flask was charged with 4-bromo-3-nitrobenzonitrile (1.0 g 4.4 mmol), 2-ethoxyphenylboronic acid (731 mg, 4.4 mmol), Pd2(dba)3 (18 mg, 0.022 mmol) and potassium fluoride (786 mg, 13.5 mmol). The reaction vessel was evacuated and filled with argon. Dry THF (300 mL) was added followed by the addition of P(t-Bu)3 (0.11 mL, 10% wt. in hexane). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 min., and then heated at 80° C. for 16 h. After cooling to room temperature, the resulting mixture was filtered through a Celite pad and concentrated. 2′-Ethoxy-2-nitrobiphenyl-4-carbonitrile was isolated as a yellow solid (1.12 g, 95%). 1H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 8.51 (s, 1H), 8.20 (d, J=8.1 Hz, 1H), 7.68 (d, J=8.4 Hz, 1H), 7.41 (t, J=8.4 Hz, 1H), 7.37 (d, J=7.5 Hz, 1H), 7.08 (t, J=7.5 Hz, 1H), 7.03 (d, J=8.1 Hz, 1H), 3.91 (q, J=7.2 Hz, 2H), 1.12 (t, J=7.2 Hz, 3H); 13C NMR (75 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 154.9, 149.7, 137.3, 137.2, 134.4, 131.5, 130.4, 128.4, 125.4, 121.8, 117.6, 112.3, 111.9, 64.1, 14.7; HPLC ret. time 2.43 min, 10-100% CH3CN, 5 min gradient; ESI-MS 269.3 m/z (MH+).
