Explain the formation of the biphenyl side product

Reference no: EM13208990

In the procedure, after the reaction begins bubbling in the RB flask, you dilute the bromobenzene-ether mixture with an additional 30 mL of anhydrous diethylether. One reason you do this is to help minimize the potential side reaction that forms byphenyl. How does the additional 30 mL of anhydrous diethyl ether minimize the formation of the biphenyl side product?
