The iodine-magnesium exchange reaction allows the preparation of polyfunctional arylmagnesium species bearing a nitro group in the ortho-position. After transmetalation to the corresponding arylzinc compound, these organometallics undergo a palladium-catalyzed Negishi cross-coupling with various aryl iodides to provide polyfunctional biphenyls bearing nitro groups in moderate to good yields. Thus, reaction of Et 4-iodo-3-nitrobenzoate with mesitylmagnesium bromide followed by treatment with ZnBr2 gave nitroarylzinc reagent which on Pd(dba)2-catalyzed Negishi cross-coupling with 4-iodo-1-nitrobenzene gave 85% Et 2,4′-dinitro[1,1′-biphenyl]-4-carboxylate.
