Pyridine → 2-(2',6'-Diisopropylphenylazo)-4-methyl-6-(9-anthracenyl)phenol

Participants

Reaction Steps

This phenol was prepared, as described above, from a theoretical yield of 3.9 mmol of diazotized 2,6-diisopropylaniline and a phenolate solution comprised of 2-(9-Anthracenyl)-4-methylphenol (0.63 g), water (20 mL), NaOH (20 mmol), pyridine (2 mL), and benzene (4 mL). In this case, the product was eluted with ether:hexanes (1:10). Yield=0.30 g (29%).
