4-Bromobenzaldehyde → 4'-Chloro[1,1'-biphenyl]-4-carbaldehyde

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4-chlorobenzeneboronic acid (19.4 g, 1 equiv), 4-bromobenzaldehyde (22.9 g, 1 equiv), palladium(H) acetate (1.4 g, 0.05 equiv) aqueous sodium carbonate (30.3 g in 144 ml solution, 2 equiv) and dimethoxyethane (500 ml) was stirred at reflux under argon for 2.5 h, then evaporated to low volume and diluted with dichloromethane: Workup continued as in (a) above to give identical material (25.2 g, 94%). 1H-NMR (CDCl3) δ 10.05 (1H, s), 7.96 (2H, d), 7.73 (2H, d), 7.57 (2H, d), 7.46 (2H, d); MS (AP+) found (M+1)=217, C13H935ClO requires 216.
