• new fluorene-based alternating polymers
• light-emitting copolymer, poly(N ⁴,N ⁴-bis-(4-phenyl)-N ⁴,N ^4′-bis-[4-(2-ethylhexyloxy)phenyl]-biphenyl-4,4′-diamine-co-1,2-bis(4′-phenyl)-1-(9′′,9′′-dihexyl-3-fluorenyl)ethane) using a Yamamoto coupling reaction
• N-methyl-3,4-bis(4-(N-(1-naphthyl)phenylamino)phenyl)maleimide, a novel non-doped red organic light-emitting diode (OLED) material

What are the applications of Application

4-Bromophenylacetonitrile is used in the synthesis of new fluorene-based alternating polymers

General Description

4-Bromophenylacetonitrile undergoes reduction using 1,1,3,3-tetramethyldisiloxane activated by a non-toxic titanium(IV) isopropoxide to yield 4-bromophenylethylamine.

Safety Profile

Poison by intravenous route. See also BROMIDES and NITRILES. When heated to decomposition it emits very toxic fumes of Br-, NOx, and CN-.
