Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

In argon atmosphere, a mixture of 18.64 g (83.9 mmol) of 9-phenanthreneboronic acid, 30.00 g (104.9 mmol) of 2,7-dibromonaphthalene, 4.85 g (4.2 mmol) of tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium (0), 200 ml of dimethoxyethane, 200 ml of toluene, and 106 ml of a 2 M sodium carbonate was stirred at a bath temperature of 85° C. for 7 h. The reaction mixture was added with water and extracted with toluene. After washing with water, the organic phase was dried over magnesium sulfate. Then, the toluene was removed by distillation under reduced pressure, and the residue was purified by silica gel chromatography to obtain 12.46 g (yield: 31.0%) of 7-bromo-2-(9-phenanthrenyl)naphthalene.
