Benzonitrile, 4-bromo- → 4'-Formyl-biphenyl-4-carbonitrile

Participants

Reaction Steps

4-Bromobenzonitrile (73 mg, 0.40 mmol) reacted with 4-formylphenylboronic acid (90 mg, 0.60 mmol) using 0.5/1.0 mol % of Pd(dba)2/Ph5FcP(t-Bu)2 and KF (70 mg, 1.21 mmol) in THF solvent at 40° C. to give the title compound (83 mg, 97%) as a white solid: 1H-NMR (500 MHz, CDCl3): δ 10.10 (s, 1H), 8.01 (d, 2H, J=8.25 Hz), 7.80-7.74 (m, 6H). 13C{1H}-NMR (125 MHz, CDCl3): δ 191.57, 144.90, 144.14, 136.14, 132.78, 130.41,128.03, 127.91, 118.52, 112.17. GC/MS(EI): m/z 207 (M+), 206.
