Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Aniline (3 g, 10.75 mmol), m-terphenyl (3.34 g, 10.85 mmol), Pd2(dba)3 (3 mol %), and t-BuONa (1.45 g, 15.05 mmol) is dissolved in toluene in a round flask, and a solution thereof is stirred at 100° C. Upon finishing reaction thereof, the toluene is removed from the solution, and a compound is extracted from the solution by using water and dichloromethane. The compound extracted thus is separated by using silica gel. The separated substance is re-crystallized by using dichloromethane and petroleum ether, and filtered, to obtain N-Phenyl-3,5-diphenylaniline (2.9 g, 84%).
