Abstract

4,7-Diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline was synthesized using 4-phenyl-8-nitroquinoline as raw material, which was reduced to 4-phenyl-8-aminoquinoline and then using I2/KI as oxidants in the presence of acetic acid and hydrochloric acid, by Skraup reaction. The structure of the product is confirmed by IR and 1H NMR spectra. The results showed that the optimal conditions was n(3-chloropropiophenone)∶n(4-phenyl-8-aminoquinoline)=1.5∶1, I2/KI=8%, reaction temperature=120 ℃, and reaction time=2.5 h. The yield of 4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline reached 82%.
