ABSTRACT
A simple and efficient catalytic system for PdCl2 catalyzing the Suzuki–Miyaura reaction of dibromobenzene and arylboronic acid has been developed by using 3-(diphenylphosphino)propanoic acid as a ligand in dimethylsulfoxide at 100 °C. Using this method, a series of symmetrical terphenyl derivatives were obtained with remarkably good yields, up to 93%.
