A palladium-catalyzed ortho-halogenation (I, Br, Cl) of arylnitrile is described. The optimal reaction conditions were identified after examining various factors such as catalyst, additive, solvent, and reaction temperature. Using cyano as the directing group, the halogenation reaction gave good to excellent yields. The method is compatible to the arylnitriles with either electron-withdrawing or electron-donating groups. The reaction is available to the substrate in at least gram scale. The present method was successfully applied to the synthesis of the precursors of paucifloral F and isopaucifloral F.

In recent years we have used palladium-catalysed cross-coupling procedures to prepare a large number of very interesting lateral mono- and di-fluoro-substituted terphenyls.Similar methodology has been applied in the synthesis of lateral cyano-substituted terphenyls to assess the extent to which the mesophases of such systems can tolerate the larger cyano group; the synthetic routes to these compounds are discussed in detail.The compounds with the lateral cyano-substituent in the centre ring have very low melting points and liquid crystal phases exhibited (SC, SA and nematic) are dependent on the terminal substituents.The compounds with the cyano-substituent at the edge of the terphenyl core are still quite low melting and they have very wide SA ranges.
