High-purity N,N-Bis(4-bromophenyl)-2,4,6-trimethylaniline

A convenient intermediate for the synthesis of polytriarylamines in application of DSSC, OLEDs and perovskite solar cells.


N,N-Bis(4-bromophenyl)-2,4,6-trimethylaniline (CAS number 663943-27-9) has a triarylamine structure with one 2,4,6-methylated phenyl and two 4-brominated phenyl rings. The two bromo functional groups at the end of each benzene rings enable it to extend its conjugation via Suzuki, Yamamoto or Stille coupling reactions.

N,N-Bis(4-bromophenyl)-2,4,6-trimethylaniline is a convenient intermediate for the synthesis of polytriarylamines (PTAAs) via Yamamoto polycondensation. PTAAs are electron rich thus commonly used as electron transport layer for perovskite solar cells and OLED devices. PTAAs can normally be deposited by solution processing at lower temperature, significantly reducing possible thermal damage to the active layer.

N,N-Bis(4-bromophenyl)-2,4,6-trimethylaniline is prepared from the reaction of 2,4,6-trimethylaniline with 1-bromo-4-iodobenzene (Buchwald-Hartwig amination) in the presence of 1,1′-ferrocenediyl-bis(diphenylphosphine) (dppf) and sodium tert-butoxide in toluene.
