Reaction Steps

The obtained 3,6-bis(5-methylthiophen-2-yl)-9-[4-(8-bromooctyl)phenyl]carbazole (1.50 g, 2.3 mmol) was dissolved in a solvent mixture of tetrahydrofuran (THF) (20 mL) and ethanol (20 mL). Under nitrogen flow, potassium thioacetate (0.40 g, 3.5 mmol) was added to the resultant solution, and the mixture was refluxed for 5 hours and left to cool to room temperature. Next, the resultant mixture was poured to water, followed by extraction with methylene chloride. In addition, the mixture was washed with water and dried and the solvent was evaporated, to thereby a pale yellowish-white solid. The obtained solid was purified through silica gel column chromatography using as an eluent a solvent mixture of methylene chloride/hexane (13/7 by volume), to thereby obtain 1.22 g of 8-{4-[3,6-bis(5-methylthiophen-2-yl)carbazol-9-yl]phenoxy}octyl thioacetate.
