3-(Biphenyl)acrylates are prepared in good yield by one pot Suzuki cross coupling - Wittig olefination reactions. Central building blocks are 4-formyl- and 3-formylphenylboronic acids and the stabilized (carbomethoxymethylidene)triphenylphosphorane. Examples of one pot Suzuki - double Wittig combinations are shown, also.
