Participants

Reaction Steps

Take 1.3 g of the carbazole from step (1c) above (0.005M) in glove box and add 2.3 g anthracene from step (a) above (0.005M). Add 0.05 g Pd2DBA3 (0.05 mM), 0.022 g P(t-Bu)3 (0.11 mM) and 0.55 g t-BuONa and dissolve all into 25 mL toluene. Upon addition of catalyst materials, there is a mild exotherm. Heat in glove box in mantle at 80 C. under nitrogen for 2 hr as a dark brown solution (thick). Cool and work up by basic-alumina chromatography eluting with DCM and collect dark yellow solution with bright purple/blue PL. Evap to a very dark oily solid. Wash with methanol to give a nice powdery yellow solid. Rinse recovered solid with methanol to give ˜1.8 g of yellow solid. The structure was confirmed by 1-H nmr spectroscopy.
