Reaction Steps

A mixture of 9.5 g (20.2 mmol) of 2-(10,10-dimethyl-10H-indeno[2,1-b]triphenylen-12-yl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolane, 4.3 g (21 mmol) of 1-bromo-2-nitrobenzene, 0.44 g (0.4 mmol) of tetrakis(triphenyl phosphine)palladium, 30 ml of 2M Na2CO3, 40 ml of EtOH and 80 ml toluene was degassed and placed under nitrogen, and then heated at 90° C. overnight. After finishing the reaction, the mixture was allowed to cool to room temperature. The solution was extracted with 250 ml of ethyl acetate and 1000 ml of water. The organic layer was dried with anhydrous magnesium sulfate and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by column chromatography on silica (Hx-EA) to give product 5.5 g (58%).
