Reaction Steps

9,10-bis(2-(2-Phenylphenyl)phenyl)-9,10-dihydroxy-9,10-dihydro-anthracene (2.9 g, 4.3 mmole) was suspended in acetic acid (45 ml). To the resultant suspension, a 57% hydroiodic acid (6 ml, 45 mmole, 10 eq) was added and the obtained mixture was stirred at 100° C. for 6 hours. To the reaction mixture, a 50% aqueous solution of hypophosphorous acid (30 ml) was added. The formed solid was separated by filtration and washed with water, methanol and acetone and a light yellow solid (2.4 g, 88%) was obtained.
