The arylation of monomers for high-performance polymers is described. The reaction of dibenzoyl peroxide with various 1,4-disubstituted benzene derivatives results in phenylation. Minimization of side reactions is discussed. The Ni-promoted reaction of Grignard compounds with iodoarenes was used to introduce the phenyl, biphenyl, and naphthyl substituent.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
