2-Bromobenzonitrile → 2'-Fluoro-5'-nitrobiphenyl-2-carbonitrile

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-bromobenzonitrile (34.6 g, 190 mmol) and 2-(2-fluoro-5-nitrophenyl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-[1,3,2]dioxaborolane (76.1 g, 285 mmol) were coupled as described in Example 2 to afford 2′-fluoro-5′-nitrobiphenyl-2-carbonitrile as a beige solid (46 g, 100%): δH (360 MHz, CDCl3) 7.37-7.42 (1H, m), 7.53 (1H, d, J 8), 7.59 (1H, td, J 8 and 1), 7.75 (1H, td, J 8 and 1), 7.83 (1H, dd, J 8 and 1), 8.35-8.39 (2H, m).
