The invention relates to a method for producing [1,1':4',1'']-terphenyl compounds of the formulawhich comprises reacting a metal aryl of the formulawith a boric ester at -80 to 40° C. in the presence of an inert solvent, converting the reaction product by hydrolysis into a boronic acid of the formulareacting the boronic acid, a boronic anhydride obtainable from boronic acid by elimination of water, or a mixture of boronic acid and boronic anhydride, with an alcohol, and reacting the boronic ester formed thereby with a biphenyl compound of the formulaat 40 to 180° C. in the presence of a catalyst, of an acid-binding agent and of a polar solvent. |
