Reaction Steps

9,10-bis(4-(2-Phenylphenyl)phenyl)-9,10-dihydroxy-9,10-dihydro-anthracene (4.9 g, 7.3 mmole) was suspended in acetic acid (70 ml). To the resultant suspension, a 57% hydroiodic acid (10 ml, 77 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 (50 ml) was added. The formed solid was separated by filtration and washed with water, methanol and acetone and a light yellow solid (4.6 g, 88%) was obtained.
