Potassium Carbonate → 3,4-Dichlorobiphenyl

Temperature

120 °C

A mixture was prepared of 1-Bromo-3,4-dichlorobenzene (20.0 g, 88.5 mmol), phenylboronic acid (13.5 g, 110.6 mmol), triphenylphosphine (2.32 g, 8.85 mmol), potassium carbonate (30.58 g, 221.25 mmol), 150 mL xylenes, and 150 mL water. The mixture was stirred and nitrogen bubbled into it for 20 minutes. Palladium acetate was added (0.99 g, 4.425 mmol) and the mixture was heated at 120° C. under nitrogen overnight. Cooled to room temperature and diluted with water and dichloromethane. The mixture was filtered through Celite and the Celite was washed with water and dichloromethane. The layers were separated and the aqueous layer extracted with dichloromethane. The organic layers were dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered, and evaporated to yield a brown oil. The crude material was purified by column chromatography eluting with hexanes. The cleanest fractions containing product were collected. Obtained 6 g (30%) of clean product.
