Participants

Reaction Steps

An amount of 6.8 g (20 mmol) of 3,4-dibromoacenaphthenequinone, 6.1 g (50 mmol) of phenylboronic acid, and 1 g of tetrakis triphenylphosphine palladium as catalysis were dissolved in a mixed solvent of 80 ml of toluene and 20 ml of ethanol. Then, 40 ml of 2M sodium carbonate solution was added and allowed to react at 90° C. for 12 hours. After the reaction was completed, the organic layer was separated and purified by column chromatography to obtain 3.85 g (11.5 mmol) of 3,4-diphenylacenaphthenequinone. The yield was 57.5%.
