Solvents and reagents were obtained from commercial sources and used as received.

H NMR

spectra were recorded in CDCl3, CD3CN and DMSO-d6 on 300MHz NMR spectrometer. The chemical shifts ( ) were described in parts per million (ppm) downfield from tetramethylsilane (TMS, 0.00 ppm) as an internal standard. All reagents of commercial quality were from freshly opened containers or were purified according to the standard methods before use.

Reagent grade acetonitrile was refluxed over

KMnO4 and K2CO3 for several hours and was distilled over P2O5 under argon twice before use. The commercial tetrabutylammonium hexafluorophosphate (Bu4NPF6, Aldrich) was recrystallized from o

CH2Cl2/Et2O and dried in vacuo at 110 C overnight before preparation of a supporting electrolyte solution. Acetonitrile containing 0.1 M tetra-n-butylammonium hexafluorophosphate (TBAPF6) was used as solvent in electrochemical measurements. Ferrocene/ferrocenium redox couple (Fc+/0) was used as an internal reference for all measurements. All electrochemical measurements were performed under dry nitrogen atmosphere using 0.1 V/s scan rate, unless otherwise specified, the concentration of samples was 10-3 M.

Phenothiazine (10 mmol) was dissolved in oxygen-free glacial acetic acid (120mL), and a solution of bromine also in acetic acid (100mL, 10% v/v, 195mmol) was added to it all at once with vigorous stirring for about one minute. The water (400 mL) was added to the mixture, the red precipitate was filtered, washed with ether absolute, dried under vacuum, then 3,7-dibromophenothiazinium bromide was obtained. 3,7-Dibromophenothiazinium bromide (8 mmol) was dissolved in methanol S2

A mixture of aryl halide (30 mmol), aniline (20 mmol), K2CO3 (40 mmol), CuI (2 mmol), and L-proline (4 mmol) in 30 mL of DMSO was heated at 90 °C for 24-30 h under inert atmosphere. The cooled mixture was partitioned between water and ethyl acetate. The organic layer was separated, and the aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic layers were washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4, and concentrated in vacuo. The residual oil was loaded on a silica gel column and eluted with ethyl acetate/petroleum ether to afford the corresponding diphenylamine. Substituted diphenylamine (10 mmol), I2 (2 mmol) in 20 mL of o-dichlorobenzene were heated together and refluxed for 15-30 min under inert atmosphere. The o-dichlorobenzene was eliminated by distillation under reduced pressure. Column chromatography of the solid residue (eluant: ethyl acetate/petroleum ether) afforded Substituted-phenothiazine. The yield is over 30%.

Xanthylium perchlorate or thioxanthylium perchlorate (2 mmol) dissolved in 30 mL of dry acetonitrile, sodium borohydride (4mmol) was added to it with stirring for about 10 minute. The acetonitrile was eliminated by distillation under vacuum. Column chromatography of the residue solid (eluant: ethyl acetate/petroleum ether) afforded Xanthene or thioxanthene.

To a boiling solution of phenazine (11 mmol) in ethanol (50 ml) was added a solution of sodium dithionite (110 mmol) in water (200 ml).

The resulting solid immediately precipitated was

collected by filtration and dried over phosphorous pentoxide under reduced pressure to give 5,10-dihydrophenazine. 5,10-Dihydrophenazine (2.5 mmol) in 5 mL of acetic anhydride were heated boiled for 2 min, cooled. The solid which separated was filtered, washed with ether, dried S13

under vacuum, and recrystallized from 90% ethanol gave 10-acetyl-5,10-dihydrophenazine. To 60 ml DMSO solvent containing (10 mmol) 10-acetyl-5,10-dihydrophenazine., 1.20g (> 50%) sodium hydride-mineral oil suspension was added under inert atmosphere. Abundant of gas was released and the solution turned to dark-red. Methyliodide (15 mmol) was added dropwise and the mixture was stirred under nitrogen for 0.5 h, after which the solution was poured into ice-water. The crude product was isolated and extracted with chloroform, dried over the MgSO4 and the solvent removed in vacuo to give the crude material. Further purification was taken on by the column chromatography using ethyl acetate/petroleum ether as the eluant to give 10-acetyl-5- methyl -dihydrophenazine. 10-Acetyl-5- methyl-dihydrophenazine (2 mmol) dissolved in 10 mL of ethanol, and a solution of 70% perchloric acid (6 mL), water (20 mL) and sodium nitrite (0.6 g) was added stirred for about 15 minute. Then 100 mL of ether was added to it, the yellow precipitate formed was collected by filtration, washed with 50 mL of ether absolute, dried under vacuum, and 5-methyl-phenazinium perchlorate was obtained. The yield is over 60%.
