Synthesis, (Non)Linear Optical and Redox Properties of a Donor-Substituted Truxenone Derivative
摘要:
two-dimensional NLO chromophore (7) with three donor-substituted branches and truxenone as the central coupling unit was synthesised from tribromotruxenone by Stille coupling with N,N-di(4-methoxyphenyl)-4'-(tributylstannylethynyl)phenylamine. UV/visible spectroscopy and hyper-Rayleigh scattering measurements prove the truxenone moiety to be a far stronger electron acceptor than, for example, a nitro group. In addition, coupling of excited states leads to an enhanced quadratic hyperpolarisability of 7 compared with one-dimensional reference chromophores. The large redox-potential separation of about 400 mV of the three reductive waves in the cyclic voltammetry also indicates strong electronic coupling of the truxenone unit. Semiempirical computations at AMI-CI level were used to explain the strong coupling; these calculations also suggest a quartet high-spin state for the truxenone trianion. UV/visible spectroelectrochemical investigations of the oxidation and the first reduction of 7 show that both processes weaken the CT excitation so as to modulate the NLO properties.

The broad applicability of the hitherto unexplored reagent combination PPh3 center dot HBr-DMSO is exemplified with multiple highly diverse one-step transformations to synthetically useful building blocks, such as flavones, 4H-thiochromen-4-ones, alpha-hydroxy ketones, 1,4-naphthoquinones (including vitamin K-3), 2-bromo-3-substituted-1H-1-indenones, 2-rnethylthio-1H-1-indenones, 3-butyne-1,2-dione, and 4-pentene-2,3-diones. The simple and mild reaction conditions make the reagent superior in terms of yield and substrate scope in comparison with the existing alternatives.
