Procedure

A 25 mL microwave vessel was charged with 1-bromo-3-nitrobenzene (XLVIII) (0.61 g, 3.0 mmol), 3-fluorophenylboronic acid (XLIX) (0.46 g, 3.3 mmol), potassium phosphate tribasic (0.95 g, 4.5 mmol), 1,4-dioxane (15.0 mL), and water (3.0 mL). Tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) (0.17 g, 0.15 mmol) was added, and the reaction was placed in a microwave reactor for 1 h at 95° C. An additional 3-fluorophenylboronic acid (0.20 g) and tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) (0.05 g) were added, and the reaction was heated for another 1 h at 95° C. in a microwave reactor. The organic solvent was separated from the water and concentrated to a residue. The residue was then purified by flash chromatography using a 25 g Thomson normal phase silica gel cartridge (100% hexanes→1:99 EtOAc:hexanes) to afford 3′-fluoro-3-nitrobiphenyl (L) (0.63 g, 2.91 mmol, 97% yield) as a white solid. 1H NMR (DMSO-d6) δ ppm 8.48 (t, J=2.0 Hz, 1H), 8.26-8.24 (m, 1H), 8.20-8.18 (m, 1H), 7.78 (t, J=8 Hz, 1H), 7.70-7.68 (m, 1H), 7.67-7.65 (m, 1H), 7.59-7.56 (m, 1H), 7.32-7.28 (m, 1H).
