4-Butyl-N,N-bis(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolane-4-phenyl)aniline (CAS 444289-55-8) is a triphenylamine-based building block carrying two pinacol boronic ester groups and a butyl chain that improves solubility. It is used to make hole transport semiconducting small molecules and conjugated polymers for organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs) and perovskite solar cells.
The compound is typically prepared by reacting 4-bromo-N-(4-bromophenyl)-N-(4-butylphenyl)aniline with bis(pinacolato)diboron. Polymers built from it can serve as emitting layers, phosphorescent hosts or hole transport layers; polyTPD, a widely used hole transport material, is a typical example.
Reported derived materials include the DNA-mimicking poly(triphenylamine-carbazole) PTC-U, noted for high thermal stability and strong hole injection and electron-blocking in films, and the fluorene–triarylamine copolymer PFA-OXD with bipolar charge transport. Ossila supplies it at >98% purity (1H NMR) as a white to off-white powder or crystals.
