Synthesis of 9,10-Diarylanthracene Derivatives via bis Suzuki-Miyaura Cross-coupling Reaction

Abstract

A convenient and one-step synthesis of 9,10-diarylanthracenes is described via a bis Suzuki-Miyaura (SM) cross-coupling reaction. In this regard, 9,10-dibromoanthracene was reacted with various aryl boronic acids in presence of palladium(0) catalyst to give 9,10-diarylanthracenes in good yield.
