Abstract

Monofluorinated polychlorinated biphenyls (fluoro-PCBs) have been prepared using the Suzuki-coupling, for use as analytical standards for PCB measurements. Seven of these fluoro-PCBs are analogues of the dioxin-like PCBs, listed by the WHO as the most toxic PCB congeners. Four highly chlorinated fluoro-PCBs have been prepared by Suzuki-coupling of 2, 3, 5, 6-tetrachloro-bromoaniline with various substituted arylboronic acids. The resulting ...
