The Synthesis of Fluorescent DNA Intercalator Precursors through Efficient Multiple Heck Reactions

A highly efficient synthesis of p-carboethoxy-tristyryl and carboethoxy-terastyrenyl benzene derivatives through a multiple Heck cross coupling reaction is reported. This reaction provides an efficient route to DNA intercalator precursors containing a benzene core.
