43. 3 instead of NaOH as base gives the 5-bromo derivative of biaryl 12 in a 30% yield. Further functionalization of the 5-position can open access to a variety of novel catalyst candidates. Suzuki cross-coupling of aryl dibromide 11 with sterically less demanding arylboronic acids (i.e., 1-naphthalene-or 3-methoxybenzeneboronic acid) affords the products of bis-coupling in high yield (74% and 97%, respectively).
