3,4-Dibromofluorobenzene is a fluorinated organic compound that is synthesized by cross-coupling reactions. It can be used as a precursor in the synthesis of terphenyls and other fluorinated compounds. Cross-coupling reactions are carried out using the Suzuki reaction, which involves the use of palladium catalysts to form carbon-carbon bonds. 3,4-Dibromofluorobenzene undergoes dibromination to yield 2 bromine atoms per molecule. This reaction can be done using miyaura reagents or with a mixture of sodium borohydride and bromine. The latter method yields an impure product that requires purification before it can be used for other synthetic purposes.
