A series of 4-vinylbiphenyl derivatives were synthesized by Pd(II)-1,2-diaminocyclohexane complex catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura reactions in the presence of K3PO4•3H2O as base in toluene at 80 °C and the corresponding products achieved 39-95 % yields. According to this efficient C-C bond-forming method, the obtained yields of 4-vinylbiphenyl liquid crystal compounds were up to 89 %.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
