Procedure

Into a 200 mL three-neck flask were put 5.4 g (21 mmol) of 9-bromoanthracene, 2.6 g (21 mmol) of phenylboronic acid, 60 mg (0.2 mmol) of palladium(II) acetate (abbr.: Pd(OAc)2), 10 mL (20 mmol) of potassium carbonate solution (2.0 mol/L), 260 mg (0.8 mmol) of tris(o-tolyl)phosphine (abbr.: P(o-tolyl)3), and 20 mL of ethylene glycol dimethyl ether; and then the mixture was stirred at 80° C. under a nitrogen stream for 9 hours. After the stirring, a precipitated solid was collected by suction filtration, dissolved in toluene, and filtered through Florisil (produced by Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd., Catalog No. 540-00135), Celite (produced by Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd., Catalog No. 531-16855), and alumina. The obtained filtrate was washed with water and saturated saline, followed by drying with magnesium sulfate. This suspending solution was gravity filtered and the obtained filtrate was concentrated, whereby 22 g of a light-brown solid of 9-phenylanthracene, which was the object of the synthesis, was obtained in a yield of 85% (synthesis scheme (X-1)).
