2,9‐Dimethyl‐1,10‐phenanthroline (neocuproine, 1 ) was functionalised selectively in the 5‐position. Silylation of the methyl groups followed by bromination in the 5‐position was carried out to give the bis( tert ‐butyldimethylsilyl)‐substituted neocuproine 3 and 5‐bromo‐2,9‐dimethyl‐1,10‐phenanthroline ( 4 ) after deprotection. Compounds 3 and 4 are versatile building blocks for the construction of 5‐substituted neocuproines. Palladium‐catalysed couplings (Suzuki, Sonogashira, Buchwald/Hartwig) can be utilized to connect different substituents to the 1,10‐phenanthroline moiety ( 5 – 7 ). These substituents may carry additional functional groups that allow the further connection of the 5‐substituted neocuproines to form other molecules. (© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
