Oligomere aus gleichsinnig angeordneten Chalkon-Bausteinen
The cross-conjugated oligomers 1a–d, which contain up to eight alternately arranged chalcone building blocks, were prepared by stereoselective condensation reactions of formyl and acetyl components. The synthetic sequence started with 1,4-dibromo-2,5-dipropoxybenzene (2). Bouveault reactions with DMF and DMA yielded the aldehydes 3 and 6 and the ketones 7 and 10. After the protection of the carbonyl group (3 4 and 7 8), a further Bouveault reaction led to monoprotected dialdehyd 5 and diketone 9, respectively. Repetitive condensation reactions starting with the acetophenone derivative 11 and 5 furnished the aldehyde 12, the ketone 13 and the aldehyde 14. In the final step the target compoun…
Konvergenz von Absorption und Fluoreszenz bei gekreuzt konjugierten Oligomeren aus Chalkon-Bausteinen
The absorption and fluorescence spectra of two series of chalcone oligomers (1a–d) and (2a–d) are reported. Due to small or vanishing orbital coefficients (HMO calculation) within the cross-conjugated systems, the bathochromic shifts caused by the extension of the chains are modest. The effective conjugation lengths amount to 6 and 14 chalcone building blocks in the absorptions of the series 1 and 2. The convergence of the fluorescence bands is already reached in 1d and 2d with 4 and 8 enone units, respectively. Besides the uniform or alternate arrangement of the chalcone building blocks, the positions of the propoxy substituents show a considerable influence on the electronic transitions p…
