Abstract
A one-pot route to p-terphenyls is described. Addition of 1, 4-dibromo-2, 5-diiodobenzene, 1, to excess aryl Grignard reagent gives the terphenyl di-Grignard 2 and the trihalo mono- Grignard 5. After aqueous quench, p-terphenyls are isolated in 30% to 50+% yield (Table I). This yield can be improved to 70-8070 by adding potassium tert-butoxide or lithium Btramethylpiperidide to the reaction mixture prior to workup. Mechanisms involving ...
