Base-catalyzed condensation of cyclopentadiene derivatives. Synthesis of fulvalene analogues: strong proaromatic electron acceptors
摘要:
A series of proaromatic electron acceptors derived from fulvenes were synthesized from tetrachlorocyclopentadiene and previously unknown 1,4-dicyano- and 1,4-dialkoxycarbonyl-2,3-dimethoxy cyclopentadienes. Two reversible one-electron reductions steps observed for fulvalenes coalesce into one two-electron reduction step upon increasing the length of the conjugating bridge. (C) 2003 Elsevier Ltd.

[GRAPHICS]Novel D-pi -A chromophores based on the fulvene accepting moiety and p-dimethylamino phenyl and 1,3-dithiole-2-ylidene donor moieties have been prepared. The X-ray structures of two representative derivatives have been determined. Examination of the UV-visible spectra and cyclic voltamperometry data revealed remarkable sensitivity of the electronic structure of these derivatives to substituents at the cyclopentadiene ring.
