water, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and then
evaporated to dryness. Methanol 10 ml was added to this
section and then stirred at room temperature for 6 h. At
the end of this period, the precipitation occured. The
resulting brown precipitate was filtered off, washed with
cold methanol and diethyl ether and dried in vacuo. Yield:

Cs2CO3 (4.07 g, 12.52 mmol) and purged under argon in
a Schlenk system connected to a vacuum-line was heated
and stirred under argon until 1 was dissolved. This solution
was stirred at 110 °C and a solution of 1,2-dibromo-4,5-
bis(2-iyodoethoxy)benzene 2 (2.88 g, 5.01 mmol) in dry
acetonitrile (40 ml) was added dropwise over a period of
4 h. The reaction was monitored by TLC using chloro-
form/petroleum ether/methanol (7:2:1) and was completed
in 120 h at the same temperature. At the end of this period,
the reaction mixture was filtered and washed with dry ace-
tonitrile and then the combined solution was evaporated to
dryness under reduced pressure. The oily product was
mixed with water (50 ml) and then extracted with chloro-
form (3 ꢂ 70 ml). The combined extract was washed with
water, dried over MgSO4 and then filtered and evaporated
to dryness to give crude product. The crude product was
chromatographed on silica gel with chloroform as eluents.
