Abstract

The Suzuki-Miyaura reaction of 1,4-dibromo-2-fluorobenzene with two equivalents of arylboronic acids gave fluorinated para-terphenyls. The reaction with 1 equiv of arylboronic acid resulted in site-selective formation of biphenyls. The one-pot reaction of 1,4-dibromo-2-fluorobenzene with two different arylboronic acids afforded fluorinated para-terphenyls containing two different terminal aryl groups.
