One-pot synthesis of m-terphenyl-2'-carbaldehydes

Abstract

An efficient and straightforward one pot synthesis of m-terphenyl-2'- carbaldehyde derivatives via cascade reaction of aryl Grignard magnesium bromide with 1,3-dichloroiodobenzene is described. Via the reactions three carbon-carbon bonds are constructed and m-terphenyls are obtained in good yields. © ARKAT USA, Inc.
