Participants

Reaction Steps

1.7 g (1.49 mmol) of Pd(PPh3)4 are added to a well-stirred, degassed suspension of 25 g (183.8 mmol) of o-tolylboronic acid, 51.1 g (183.8 mmol) of 4-bromo-2-nitrobiphenyl and 66.5 g (212.7 mmol) of potassium carbonate in a mixture of 250 ml of water and 250 ml of THF, and the mixture is heated under reflux for 17 h. After cooling, the organic phase is separated off, washed three times with 200 ml of water and once with 200 ml of saturated, aqueous sodium chloride solution, dried over magnesium sulfate and evaporated to dryness in a rotary evaporator. The grey residue is recrystallised from hexane. The deposited crystals are filtered off with suction, washed with a little MeOH and dried in vacuo; yield: 50.5 g, 95% of theory; purity: 99.5% according to HPLC.
