Convenient synthesis of 1,8-diiodoanthracene and its coupling with thianthrene boronic acids

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00397919708003358

1,8-Diiodoanthracene has been prepared from commercially available 1,8-dichloroanthraquinone; it was shown to couple twice under Pd(0)-catalysis, with thianthrene 1- and 2-boronic acids giving 1,8-bis(thianthrenyl)anthracenes.
