Reaction Steps

190 mg 3-bromoanisole, 183 mg phenyl boronic acid and 275 mg potassium carbonate are mixed in 2 ml xylene. To this is added 27 mg of the catalyst from example 5a (corresponds to 0.5 mol % palladium). The reaction mixture is stirred and heated, under an atmosphere of nitrogen, to a temperature of 130° C. for a period of 2 hours. A GC analysis showed that all starting material is consumed and 3-methoxy biphenyl is formed selectively (100% conversion).
