This Example was carried out in the same manner as Example 10, except that 23.42 g (0.158 mol) of 4-vinyl-phenyl boronic acid, 20.0 g (0.1055 mol) of 3-(2-chloro-phenyl)pyridine, 500□ of 1,4-dioxane, 27.54 g (0.474 mol, 3.3 equivalent) of fluoro-potassium, 1.69 g (0.0084 mol, 5.3 mol %) of t-butylphosphine [P( t-Bu)3)], and 2.6 g (0.0028 mol, 1.8 mol %) of palladium tris(dibenzylidene acetone) [Pd2(dba)3] were used. Finally, after the resulting solution was heated to reflux at 80° C. for 24 hours, the 3-(4′-vinyl-biphenyl-2-yl)pyridine was isolated. The yield was 50%.
