TWO STEP METHOD OF PRODUCING TRIARLYAMINE COMPOUNDS HAVING TWO ALKYL ALCOHOLS IN A SINGLE REACTION VESSEL

The present invention provides a simple, cost effective and time saving two step method for synthesizing triarylamines comprising two alkyl alcohols in a single vessel. The resulting triarylamines are synthesized without the need for the usual protection and the deprotection steps. The reaction proceeds in two steps in a single reaction vessel whereby a primary arylamine is reacted with two equivalents of a halogenated aryl alkyl alcohol in the presence of a catalytic amount of palladium precursor, ligand, solvent and base.
