Toluene → HCID 71238684, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

3,6-Dibromo-N-(4-methylphenyl)carbazole (6.23 g) and phenylboronic acid (2.01 g) were added to a solvent mixture of toluene (60 mL) and ethanol (15 mL), followed by bubbling with nitrogen. Then, tetrakistriphenylphosphine palladium (290 mg) and 21.2% aqueous sodium carbonate solution (15.0 g) were added to the mixture, and the resultant mixture was refluxed under nitrogen flow for 5 hours. The mixture was diluted with toluene. The toluene layer was washed with water and dried and the toluene was evaporated. The residue was treated through silica gel column chromatography (eluent: toluene/hexane=1/4 (by mass)), to thereby obtain 3.20 g of 3-bromo-6-phenyl-N-(4-methylphenyl)carbazole as colorless powder.
