Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 6,13-pentacenequinone (1.0 g, 3.24 mmol) in dry MeOH (40 mL) at 0° C. under an argon atmosphere was slowly added NaBH4 (1.22 g, 32.46 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 0.5 h and at RT for 1 h, and then quenched with H2O at 0° C. The resulting mixture was filtered and washed with H2O. The resulting solid was taken up in CHCl3, then filtered and washed with CHCl3, and dried in vacuo to give product as an off-white solid (0.92 g, 91%): mp 235° C. 1H NMR (500 MHz, DMSO-d6): δ 8.12 (s, 4H), 7.95 (m, 4H), 7.48 (m, 4H), 6.63 (s, 2H), 5.81 (s, 2H). 13C NMR (125.68 MHz, DMSO-d6): δ 138.19, 131.67, 127.47, 125.44, 120.91, 66.98. LDI-MS m/z: 312 [M+], 296 [M+-OH], 280 [M+-2(OH)].
