Abstract

Abstract 1, 2-Diaryl-substituted acenaphthylene derivatives were prepared simply via Suzuki- Miyaura coupling in good or excellent yields. By applying this method, acenaphthylene-1, 2- bis (p-quinone methide) with two 3, 5-di-tert-butyl-4-oxocyclohexadienylidene units, which is a stable deep purple crystalline substance with a very broad absorption in the whole visible region and relatively low reduction potential, was prepared and characterized.
