Synthesis and Photochromic Behaviour of Novel 2H-1-Benzopyrans (=2H-Chromenes) Derived from Carbazololes
摘要:
The synthesis and photochromic properties of new 2,2-diphenyl-2H-1-benzopyrans, fused to an indole moiety, are described. All compounds exhibit photochromic behaviour in solution at room temperature. The heteroanellation effects are variable and depend on the position and geometry of the fused indole moiety. A general bathochromic shift in the spectra of the open forms is observed. The presence of a N-methyl group prevents the broadening of the absorption spectra and promotes the instability of some photoinduced forms of compounds with the indole moiety fused at the 5,6 positions of the 2H-1-benzopyran skeleton. The enhanced photocolouration efficiency in the near-UV and the kinetics of thermal bleaching indicate that the novel compounds with an indole moiety fused at the 6,7 positions, particularly those with a linked thiophene moiety: are very interesting molecules for applications in the field of variable optical absorption systems.
A convenient synthesis of azolo-fused 2H-[1] benzopyrans
摘要:
The synthesis of substituted 7;7-diphenyl-7H-pyrano[3,2-e]benzazoles 2a-f and 7,7-diphenyl-7H-pyrano[2,3-g]benzazoles 4a-d is described. Thus, suitable titanium(IV) phenolates reacted with beta-phenylcinnamaldehyde in refluxing aprotic non-polar solvents. Electrocyclisation of o-quinone allides generated in situ gives regiospecifically the title compounds. Stoichiometric amounts of heterocyclic phenol, titanium tetraethoxide and the carbonyl compound, have been found to give better results. In this series. substitution on the a position leads to the formation of the regioisomer. The method could be also extended to the formation of 8,8-diphenyl-8H-pyrano[2.3-e]benzazole 8. A side reaction between the desired pyran and a second molecule of heterocyclic phenol was observed. This condensation product 9 was isolated and characterized in the case of the imidazole derivative, and a mechanism for its formation is proposed.
