Sodium Carbonate → 9-(3-Bromophenyl)phenanthrene

Participants

Reaction Steps

In argon atmosphere, a mixture of 31.4 g (141 mmol) of 9-phenanthreneboronic acid, 40.0 g (141 mmol) of 3-bromoiodobenzene, 3.30 g (2.83 mmol) of tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium (0), 200 ml of toluene, 50 ml of dimethoxyethane and 212 ml of a 2 M sodium carbonate aqueous solution, and the mixture was refluxed under stirring for 4 h. After the reaction, the reaction mixture was added with toluene and washed with water. The organic phase was dried over sodium sulfate, and then toluene was removed by distillation under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel chromatography to obtain 34.7 g (yield: 74%) of 9-(3-bromophenyl)phenanthrene.
