Participants

Reaction Steps

7.4 g (14.2 mmol) of 6,11-di(2-naphthyl)-12-H-12-aza-indeno[1,2-b]anthracene was dissolved with 70 ml of THF in a 250 ml flask, and 1.64 g (17.0 mmol) of t-BuONa was added thereto and then, 2.4 ml (17.0 mmol) of CH3I was slowly added thereto at room temperature. After 30 minutes, a solvent was removed to obtain a solid, and the solid was hot filtered twice using dichlorobenzene, and re-crystallized three times using dichlorobenzene. Then, the resultant solid was dried under reduced pressure, thereby producing 6,11-di(2-naphthyl)-12-methyl-12-aza indeno[1,2-b]anthracene (3.5 g, 46%) that was white yellow.
