Reaction Steps

As shown in scheme 1, 4-bromo-N,N-diphenylaniline (11) is reacted with 1-methyl-2-(tributylstannyl)-1H-pyrrole by Stille coupling reaction to obtain 4-(1-methyl-1H-pyrrole-2-yl)-N,N-diphenylaniline (12). n-butyl lithium is reacted with 4-(1-methyl-1H-pyrrole-2-yl)-N,N-diphenylaniline (12), and then tributylstannylchloride is added thereto to obtain 4-(1-methyl-5-(tributylstannyl)-1H-pyrrole-2-yl)-N,N-diphenylaniline (13). 4-(1-methyl-5-(tributylstannyl)-1H-pyrrole-2-yl)-N,N-diphenylaniline (13) is reacted with 4-bromobenzaldehyde by Stille coupling reaction to obtain 4-(5-(4-(diphenylamino)phenyl)-1-methyl-1H-pyrrol-2-yl)benzaldehyde (14a). Finally, 4-(5-(4-(diphenylamino)phenyl)-1-methyl-1H-pyrrol-2-yl)benzaldehyde (14a) is reacted with cyanoacetic acid in acetic acid by using ammonium acetate as a catalyst, and (E)-2-cyano-3-[4-(5-(4-(diphenyl-amino)phenyl)-1-methyl-1H-pyrrol-2-yl)]phenyl)acrylic acid (15a) is synthesized.
