✦ Synopsis
Coupling of substituted halobenzenes to the respective biphenyls is effected with high selectivity in toluene, using a combination of a reducing agent and a weak base in the presence of catalytic tetrabutylammonium bromide (TBAB) and palladium that are both supported on carbon. The maximum selectivity to biphenyl was achieved when Pd, Na 2 CO 3 , and TBAB were all supported together on activated carbon. The results are explained with postulation of a physical micro-membrane formed in situ by the phase-transfer catalyst.
