Unreacted alkyl halide and byproduct olefin contaminants in products of SN2 alkylation reactions of aromatic compounds can be efficiently removed by sequential posttreatments with a base and a boron compound (sodium borohydride or 9- borabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane), followed by column chromatography on silica gel. These treatments permit large-scale purification of various alkylated aromatics, thereby assisting in the development of soft π-conjugated materials, such as monomers for semiconducting polymers or alkylated π-functional liquids.
