Reaction Steps

The compound 2 (1.0 g, 1 eq., 2.02 mmol), 4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-2-(10-phenyl-anthracene-9-yl)-[1,3,2]dioxaborolane (0.77 g, 1 eq., 2.02 mmol), tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) (0.23 g, 0.1 eq., 0.2 mmol), 2M K2CO3 (1 ml, 1 eq., 2.02 mmol), and tetrabutylammoniumbromide (0.65 g, 1 eq., 2.02 mmol) were put into a 100 ml round bottom flask under an argon gas atmosphere, and THF (50 ml) and toluene (20 ml) were added thereto. The reaction mixture was refluxed at 100° C. for 16 hours. When the reaction solution turned dark brown, water was added, and the resultant solution was extracted with ethylacetate. The extracted organic phase was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and filtered to remove a solvent. The residue was dissolved in a trace amount of toluene and purified on a silica gel column. The resultant solid was recrystallized from toluene and methanol to give a material 1 represented by Formula 18 (0.71 g, 52%). 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3, δ): 8.11 (s, 2H), 7.98 (s, 3H), 7.81 (s, 2H), 7.75-7.10 (m, 13H), 1.93 (m, 4H), 1.21 (m, 20H), 0.87 (m, 6H), 0.65 (broad s, 4H).
