PROCESS FOR THE PREPARATION OF HALOGENATED BIPHENYLANILIDES. The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of substituted biphenylanilides of formula (I) in which R(1) is selected from a protected amino group, NO(2), NH(2) and NHR(3) , in which a compound of the formula II is reacted in the presence of a base and a palladium salt, in the presence of a phosphine ligand of the formula (V) as a complex ligand or a salt thereof, in a solvent, with a organoboron compound of formula (III) wherein all substituents are as defined in the specification. |
