| Summary: | ABSTRACT
A simple, energy-efficient, and relatively quick synthetic procedure for the synthesis of (1)-N-4'-
methoxybenzyJ-1,10-phenanthroliniumbromide, based on green chemistry principles has been carried out. The
synthesis was started by solvent-free reduction of p-anisaldehyde with NaBH4to give 4-methoxybenzyl alcohol in
98% yield to be followed by solvent-free treatment of the resulted alcohol with PBr3 to yield 4-methoxybenzyl
bromide (86%). Furthennore, the obtained bromide was reacted with 1,10-phenanthrolinein acetone at reflux for 12
h to give the phenanthrolinium salt target in 68%yield.
Keywords:green chemistry, p-anisaldehyde,(1)-N-4'-methoxybenzyl-1, 1Q-phenanthroliniumbromide
