K2CO3 (5.44 g, 23.2 mmol) and Pd(PPh3)4 (1.14 g, 0.6 mmol) were added. The reaction mixture was heated in argon to 80° C., kept at this temperature overnight (TLC monitoring: hexane/ethyl acetate, 4:1), cooled, and filtered through Celite. The latter was washed with CH2Cl2, and the filtrate was evaporated. The residue was dissolved in CH2Cl2, and the solution was evaporated to give 6.0 g of crude biphenyl 10h that was cyclized without purification.
