An iterative approach toward the synthesis of discrete oligomeric p-phenylene vinylene organic dyes employing aqueous Wittig chemistry
摘要:
Photovoltaic research has become increasingly prominent as the search for alternatives to fossil fuels are actively sought. A novel process for the iterative synthesis of discrete donor/acceptor-flanked oligostilbenes, key constituents in dye-sensitized solar cells, is described. The aqueous Wittig process is high yielding, proceeds with high (E)-stereoselectivity and allows facile product purification. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Free from protection! A general, chemoselective, protecting‐group‐ and organic‐solvent‐free route to stilbenes and heterostilbenes involving the direct synthesis of triethyl benzylic and allylic phosphonium salts from the corresponding alcohols and their microwave‐assisted, aqueous Wittig reactions is described.

A novel proton-catalyzed [3+2]-type cyclodimerization of 3-vinylindoles is reported leading to fused cyclopenta[b]indoles, contrasting to the normal [4+2]-cycloaddition pathway. The development of a general, high yielding version of the reaction catalyzed by zinc bromide in toluene is described.
