Participants

Reaction Steps

5-Bromotetracene (3.0 g, 9.77 mmol), tris(dibenzylideneacetone)dipalladium (448 mg, 0.489 mmol), (bis(2-diphenylphosphinophenyl)ether (1.05 g, 1.95 mmol), (2-(methoxycarbonyl)phenyl)boronic acid (3.52 g, 19.5 mmol) and potassium carbonate (5.40 g, 39.1 mmol) were added to a solvent mixture containing 200 mL of toluene, 12 mL of ethanol and 24 mL of water. The mixture was reacted under reflux at the boiling point for 24 hours in a nitrogen atmosphere to obtain methyl-2-(tetracen-5-yl)benzoate at a yield of 73%.
