The palladium-catalyzed Suzuki–Miyaura coupling reaction of tetrabromo-p-benzoquinone and 2, 3-dibromonaphthoquinone provide a convenient approach to tetraaryl-p- benzoquinones and 2, 3-diarylnaphthoquinones. Suzuki–Miyaura of tetrabromo-1, 4- phenylene bis (trifluoromethanesulfonate) and of 2, 3-dibromonaphthalene-1, 4-diyl bis ( trifluoromethanesulfonate) resulted in the formation of the same type of quinone products ...
