Triphenylborane was unexpectedly formed from phenylboronic acid in the presence of an inorganic base and a polar solvent. When K 2 CO 3 was used as the base and DMF was used as the solvent, 0.22 mmol of triphenylborane was obtained from 1.5 mmol of phenylboronic acid after 1 h at 130 °C. The in‐situ formed triphenylborane reacted with chorobenzene over a supported Pd catalyst to afford biphenyl as the cross coupling product.
