The invention discloses a dianthracene ortho-position selective
boron esterification and group post-modification method, which realizes the ortho-position efficient
boron esterification of dianthracene by taking a methoxy (
cyclooctadiene)
iridium dimer as a catalyst through the synergistic effect of a steric hindrance effect and a specific
solvent system. A novel method which is high in
regioselectivity, mild, efficient and suitable for ortho-position precise modification is provided; group post-modification is further carried out around the
boron esterification intermediate, and functional groups with different push-pull
electron effects, such as trifluoromethylphenyl, triisopropylsilylacetylene, 4-methoxyphenyl, pyridyl,
halogen, cyano and thienyl, are introduced in a targeted design, so that a dianthracene core plane conjugated structure is reserved, and meanwhile, the functional groups with different push-pull
electron effects, such as dianthracene, dianthracene and dianthracene are synthesized. The stability and the solution
machinability of the material are remarkably improved, the photophysical function of the material is expanded, and a core foundation is laid for application of the dianthracene material in the fields of near-
infrared photoelectricity, organic semiconductors and the like.
