The reactivity of this new BN-phenanthrene, and of several substituted derivatives, has been tested against bromine and organolithium compounds. Bromination proceeded with complete regioselectivity, affording bromo-substituted compounds suitable for further functionalization via cross coupling reactions. This new family of BN-phenanthrenes exhibits a substantial increase in the quantum yield (up to ϕF = 0.93) with respect to phenanthrene. %K BN-arene %K 1,2-dihydro-1-aza-2-boraphenanthrene %K Fluorescence %K Bromination %K Organolithium compound %K Química %K Chemistry %~ Biblioteca Universidad de Alcala
