Sodium Carbonate → 2-(Biphenyl-2-yl)-6-bromonaphthalene

Participants

Reaction Steps

15 g of 2,6-dibromonaphthalene on the market, 12.5 g of 2-biphenylboronic acid and 1.8 g of tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium were mixed, followed by argon displacement. After adding 250 ml of toluene and 90 ml of 2M sodium carbonate aqueous solution thereto, it was refluxed on heating for 7 hours. After standing to cool, the organic layer was extracted by toluene, and then it was washed by water and saturated salt water. Subsequently the organic layer was dried by using sodium sulfate anhydride, and then the solvent was removed by distillation. The product was refined through a silica gel chromatography and then 10.9 g of 2-(biphenyl-2-yl)-6-bromonaphthalene of white crystal was obtained (yield: 58%).
