Procedure

A suspension of 2-bromo-4-fluorobenzonitrile (2.50 g, 12.5 mmol), potassium fluoride (2.40 g, 41.3 mmol) and 2-(2-fluoro-5-nitrophenyl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-[1,3,2]dioxaborolane (4.67 g, 17.5 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (50 ml) was degassed with nitrogen for 30 min. Tris(dibenzylideneacetone)dipalladium(0) and tri-tert-butylphosphine (0.2 M solution in 1,4-dioxane, 3.7 ml) were added and the mixture stirred at ambient temperature for 15 min then at 50° C. for 18 h. After cooling to ambient temperature, the resulting dark suspension was poured onto 0.5 M sodium hydroxide solution (500 ml) and stirred vigorously for 2 h. The dark solid was collected by filtration, washed with water (100 ml) and isohexane (50 ml) and left to air dry which gave the title compound as a brown/black solid: 1H NMR (360 MHz, CDCl3) 5 7.25-7.33 (2H, m), 7.40-7.44 (1H, m), 7.86 (1H, dd, J 9, 6 Hz), 8.35-8.42 (2H, m).
