Participants

Reaction Steps

2-Bromochlorobenzene (96 mg, 0.50 mmol) reacted with phenylboronic acid (79 mg, 0.65 mmol) using 1/2 mol % of Pd(dba)2/Ph5FcP(t-Bu)2 and KF (87 mg, 1.50 mmol) in THF at room temperature to give the title compound (88 mg, 93%) as a white solid: 1H-NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): δ 7.40-7.19 (m, 9H). 13C{1H}-NMR (100 MHz, CDCl3): δ 140.45, 139.33, 132.43, 131.32, 129.88, 129.39, 128.47, 127.99, 127.55, 126.77.
