Synthesis of 2,7-diazide-9,9-dihexylfluorene (A3)
The amine precursor monomers were dissolved in
2% aqueous hydrochloric acid, cooled to 0 ℃, then
NaNO2 was added. The mixture was stirred for 1 h at 0
℃, NaN3 was added and stirred for 4 h at 0 ℃. Water
and CH2Cl2 (50 mL) were added, the organic layer was
separated, the aqueous layer was extracted with CH2Cl2
twice, and the combined organic layers were dried over
Na2SO4. After removal of the solvent, the crude product
was chromatographically purified on silica gel eluting
with hexane to afford A1—A4.
