2-[9,10-Di(2-naphthyl)-2-anthryl]-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolane(CAS: 624744-67-8)

This compound is a crystalline solid with a high molecular weight. It has low solubility in water but is soluble in organic solvents like dichloromethane and toluene. It exhibits good thermal stability and moderate reactivity in organic reactions, particularly in coupling reactions due to the presence of the boron moiety.

This compound is typically synthesized through a multistep process involving the preparation of the anthryl naphthyl boronic ester followed by the coupling reaction with a suitable boronic acid or ester. The synthesis often requires the use of palladium catalysts and base, with high selectivity and good yield.

This compound is used in the pharmaceutical industry for its photophysical properties, in the semiconductor industry for its electronic properties, and in the polymer industry for its potential in developing new materials. It also finds applications in the synthesis of fluorescent sensors and as a building block for organic molecules.

When handling this compound, it is important to wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) including gloves, goggles, and lab coat. Handle in a well-ventilated area or fume hood to avoid inhalation of vapors. Spills should be contained and disposed of following the safety data sheet (SDS) guidelines. Ensure proper storage in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and incompatible materials.
