“…Recently, Scheuermann and co-workers developed a palladium nanoparticle catalyst on graphite oxide, which showed excellent catalytic activity in the Suzuki reaction of 4-bromo-1,2-difluorobenzene with arylboronic acids [49]. However, the coupling reaction of 3,4-difluorophenylboronic acid with aryl bromide is rarely reported [23,24]. Therefore, the Suzuki reaction of 3,4-difluorophenylboronic acid was also investigated in this thermoregulated system.…”
