The catalytic cross-coupling reaction of potassium diaryldifluoroborates with aryl halides proceeds to afford the biphenyls in good yields. These salts on an arylation reagent were readily prepared via a protocol of the Grignard method and transformation to potassium salts. Two aryl groups of these salts were efficiently transferred in the Suzuki-Miyaura reaction.
