Reaction Steps

In a 200 mL three-neck flask were put 3.6 g (9.1 mmol) of 9-(4-bromophenyl)-9-phenylfluorene and 2.7 g (27.7 mmol) of sodium tert-butoxide. The air in the flask was replaced with nitrogen. To this mixture were added 46.0 mL of toluene and 1.2 mL (9.6 mmol) of 3,5-dimethylaniline. The temperature of this mixture was set to 60° C., and 53.2 mg (0.1 mmol) of bis(dibenzylideneacetone)palladium(0) was added to the mixture. The temperature of the mixture was raised to 80° C., followed by stirring for 0.5 hours. Then, 0.30 mL of a 10% hexane solution of tri(tert-butyl)phosphine was added to the mixture, which was then stirred for 4.5 hours. After the stirring, the mixture was suction-filtered through Florisil, Celite, and alumina to give a filtrate. The filtrate was concentrated to give a solid, which was then purified by silica gel column chromatography (the developing solvent has a 1:1 ratio of hexane to toluene) to give a while solid. Recrystallization of the obtained white solid from toluene and hexane gave 3.7 g of a white solid in 92% yield, which was the substance to be produced. The synthesis scheme of this Step 1 is shown in the following (E9-1).
