Synthesis of Triphenylamine-Modified Arylates and Ketones via Suzuki Coupling Reactions

[image omitted] A series of triphenylamine-mdified arylates and ketones were synthesized via Pd-catalyzed Suzuki coupling reaction of triphenylamine boronic acid with aryl bromide. The triphenylamine boronic acid was synthesized by iodization of 4-bromoaniline, Ullmann reaction of 1-bromo-4-iodobenzene with diphenylamine, and boronic acidification of 4-bromotriphenylamine.
