Example 8
Phenylborate 6 (500 mg, 678 μmol), dye IR-783 14 (Aldrich, 507.9 mg, 678 μmol), tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) (78.3 mg, 67.8 μmol) and potassium carbonate (187 mg, 1.35 μmol) were combined in dioxane/water (7.5 mL and 7.5 mL), bubbled with N2 and heated to 100° C. for 1.5 h. The mixture was concentrated, then dissolved in 9/1:MeOH/NH4OH (2 mL) and diluted with CH2Cl2 (18 mL) and loaded onto a column and chromatographed (2.5×15 cm. with CH2Cl2 (100 mL), then 9/0.9/0.1: CH2Cl2/MeOH/NH3 (250 mL), then 4/0.9/0.1: CH2Cl2/MeOH/NH3 (500 mL)) to give the product 105 (320 mg, 34%) as a green solid. 1H NMR (CD3OD) δ 8.14 (s, 1H, formate), 7.75 (d, J=8.1 Hz, 2H), 7.70 (d, J=8.4 Hz, 1H), 7.35 (d, J=8.1 Hz, 2H), 7.21-7.33 (m, 6H), 7.15 (br m, 4H), 6.83, (d, J=2.1 Hz, 1H), 6.67 (dd, J=2.1, 8.4 Hz, 1H), 6.07 (br, 2H), 4.47 (s, 2H), 4.06 (br s, 4H), 3.73 (t, J=5.5 Hz, 2H), 3.52-3.70 (m, 20H), 2.89 (s, 2H), 2.83 (t, J=7.2 Hz, 4H), 2.72 (br s, 4H), 2.44 (s, 3H), 2.39 (s, 2H), 2.13 (m, 2H), 2.02 (br m, 2H), 1.76-1.94 (m, 10H), 1.53 (br s, 12H), 1.19 (s 12H), 1.06 (s, 6H). HRMS (ESI) [M+2H]2+ calcd for C76H101N7O3S2, 692.8522; found 692.8519.
