Method B. Isoamyl nitrite (30 mmol) and DMF (20 mL)
were placed in a 100 mL Erlenmeyer flask. Benzidine (1.99 g,
10.8 mmol) and paraꢀtoluenesulfonic acid (4.13, 24 mmol) were
separately dissolved in DMF (20 mL). The solutions of benzꢀ
idine and paraꢀtoluenesulfonic acid were added with stirring to
the solution of isoamyl nitrite. The reaction mixture was stirred
at room temperature for 10 min. Freshly calcinated copper(II)
chloride (3.22 g, 24 mmol) was added into the flask. The reacꢀ
tion mixture was heated to 100 C and allowed to stand for 1 h.
Then the mixture was cooled to room temperature and diluted
with water to 500 mL. The precipitate was filtered off and washed
with water.

This study was financially supported by the Ministry of
Education and Science of the Russian Federation (State
Contract 8430), the Council on Grants at the President of
the Russian Federation (Program for State Support of
Leading Scientific Schools of the Russian Federation and
Young Scientists, Grant MKꢀ3079.2015.3), and the Govꢀ
ernment of the Russian Federation (Program 211, agreeꢀ
ment No. 02.A03.21.0006).
Method C. The experiment was performed by the method B
in DMSO using paraꢀdodecylbenzenesulfonic acid.

Synthesis of bis(9Hꢀcarbozolꢀ9ꢀyl)biphenyls 2 (general proꢀ
cedure). Potassium tertꢀbutoxide (1.12 g, 10 mmol) and carbꢀ
azole (1.67 g, 10 mmol) were added to appropriate dihalobiꢀ
phenyl 1 (1 mmol) in dry toluene (20 mL). The mixture was
heated in a glass autoclave under argon at 130—140 C for 48 h.
The resulting suspension was diluted with water to remove inorꢀ
ganic impurities. The organic layer was separated, concentrated
to dryness, and chromatographed on silica gel using a 0—10%
acetone solution in hexane.
