Reaction Steps

6.4 g of ethyl 3″-tert-butyl-4″-diethylamino-4′-(3-hydroxypropyl)-[1,1′;3′,1″]terphenyl-4-carboxylate obtained in Example 32c (13 mmol) are dissolved in 128 mL of diethyl ether. The dissolution is performed under cold conditions (0° C.), and 11.4 mL of trioctylphosphine are then added (26 mmol) followed by addition of a solution of 8.5 g of carbon tetrabromide (26 mmol) dissolved in 10 volumes of Et2O added dropwise. The reaction medium is stirred at 0° C. for 30 minutes and then for 1 hour 30 minutes at room temperature. The reaction is stopped by adding 100 mL of water and then extracted with 100 mL of ethyl acetate. The organic phases are washed with 400 mL of water and then dried over magnesium sulfate. The solvents are evaporated off and the residue is then purified by chromatography on silica gel (eluent: 9/1 heptane/ethyl acetate). 6 g of ethyl 4′-(3-bromopropyl)-3″-tert-butyl-4″-diethylamino[1,1′;3′,1″]terphenyl-4-carboxylate are obtained (yield=83%) in the form of a thick brown oil.
