A general procedure for synthesis of 4",6'-dialkoxy-2',2"-diamino-m-quaterphenyls has been established.Copper(I) t-butoxide is used to prepare 2,6-dinitrophenyls from 1,3-dinitrobenzene and aryl iodides.One of the nitro-groups is then exchanged for a methoxy-group by sodium methoxide in hexamethylohosphoramide; the resulting 2-methoxy-6-nitrobiphenyls are then iodinated in the 5-position.Ullmann coupling then gives the dinitroquaterphenyls which are reduced to the diamines.An alternative route from 2,2',4,4'-tetranitrobiphenyl was explored; arylation was easy but alkoxydenitration was indiscriminate.Some 71 new derivatives of biphenyl, terphenyl, and quterphenyl are reported.
