With chloro-trimethyl-silane; In N,N-dimethyl-formamide; at 100℃; for 48h;
The antenna ligand for NC-11 was synthesized in a pressure tube containing 4,4'- dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine (2g, 0.0108 mol) and 9-benzyl- H-carbazole-3-carbaldehyde (6.19g, 0.0217mol) and 0.065mol of trimethylchlorosilane, and magnetic stirrer bar in 70ml DMF. The reaction temperature was raised to 100C and allowed to run for 48 hours with continuous stirring. During the course of the reaction, the color of the reaction mixture changed to yellow and turned orange on cooling and release of pressure from the tube. The solvent was removed using rotary evaporator, and the orange product was recovered by addition of water and filtration under vacuum to furnish the ancillary ligand in 84% yield. Scheme 3 shows a schematic of the synthesis of the antenna ligand for NC-11.
