Abstract

Dihalobenzenes that possess directing groups such as OH, CH2OH, NH2, NHAc, or NHBoc were subjected to ortho-selective cross-coupling with Grignard reagents in the presence of palladium-based catalysts to give the corresponding substituted monohalobenzenes. For the dibromo- and dichlorophenols and anilines, hydroxylated terphenylphosphines 1 and 2 were found to be effective ligands for palladium, whereas tricyclohexylphosphine was preferable for the dichlorobenzyl alcohols, dichloroanilides, and difluorobenzenes.
