Reaction Steps

Commercially available 1-bromo-2-nitro-4-trifluoromethyl-benzene (0.130 g, 0.48 mmol) was reacted with phenylboronic acid (0.072 g, 0.59 mmol) as described in Example 213a substituting dioxane for toluene, bis(triphenylphosphine)-palladium (II) chloride for palladium acetate and omitting the 2,8,9-triisobutyl-2,5,8,9-tetraaza-1-phosphabicyclo[3.3.3.]undecane. The reaction was complete after three hours and the title biphenyl recovered in quantitative yield, sufficiently pure for use as isolated.
