Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4,7-dibromobenzo[2,1,3]thiadiazole (13.2 g, 45 mmol), 4-(N,N-diphenylamino)phenylboronic acid (30.0 g, 104 mmol), a solution of sodium carbonate (21.2 g, 200 mmol) in water (80 mL), tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) (5.0 g, 4.3 mmol), n-butanol (800 mL), and toluene (400 mL) was stirred under argon and heated at 100° C. for 20 hours. After cooling to room temperature, the mixture was diluted with water (600 mL) and stirred for 2 hours. Finally, the reaction mixture was extracted with toluene (2 L), and the volatiles were removed under reduced pressure. The residue was chromatographed using silica gel and hexane/dichloromethane (1:1) as an eluent to give 26.96 g (43.3 mmol, 96%) of 4,7-bis[(N,N-diphenylamino)phenyl)]benzo[2,1,3]thiadiazole (Intermediate M).
