Procedure

Under an atmosphere of argon, 2-chloroanthraquinone (5.0 g, 21 mmole), phenylboronic acid (2.8 g, 23 mmole, 1.1 eq), tris(dibenzylidene-acetone)dipalladium(0) (0.2 g, 0.22 mmole, 2% Pd) and potassium fluoride (4.4 g, 76 mmole, 3.3 eq) were suspended in anhydrous dioxane (30 ml). To the obtained suspension, a toluene solution of tri-t-butylphosphine (66%, 0.13 ml, 0.42 mmole, 1 eq) was added and the resultant mixture was stirred at 80° C. for 3 hours. The reaction mixture was filtered and washed with toluene (100 ml). The filtrate was washed with a saturated aqueous solution of sodium chloride (30 ml) and dried with magnesium sulfate. Then, the solvent was removed by distillation and a yellow solid was obtained. The obtained solid was washed with boiling ethanol (50 ml) and a yellow solid (5.2 g, 87%) was obtained.
