1-Naphthol reacts with 1,1-diarylprop-2-yn-1-ols 5a,b, under alumina catalysis, by two pathways to give the photochromic naphtho[1,2-b]pyrans 6a,b, together with the propenylidenenaphthalenones 7a,b, representatives of a new class of merocyanine dyes. With 2-methyl-1-naphthol, formation of the photochrome is suppressed; the only products are merocyanines 7c,d. The cyclocondensation of 2-naphthol with 5a,b proceeds much more efficiently, to give the naphtho[2,1-b]pyrans 14a,b. Pyran formation is not suppressed from either 1-bromo- or 1-(4 -methoxyphenyl)-2-naphthol; reaction with 5a,b merely results in expulsion of the C-1 substituent. An alternative pathway supervenes in the reaction of 1-methyl-2-naphthol with 5a to give the benz[e]indanone 17, the constitution of which was determined by X-ray crystallography. Reaction of the 1,3,3-triarylpropynols 19a,b with 1-naphthol affords the naphthopyrans 20 together with merocyanines 21, whilst the isomeric pyrans 23 are efficiently produced from 2-naphthol. The configuration of merocyanines 7a and 21a was unequivocally established by X-ray crystallography. Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2003.
Polymethine dyes suitable for optical recording media
-
, (2008/06/13)
Polymethine dyes suitable for use in optical recording medium, which are soluble in alcohol and have a nucleus of the general formula: in which:, n is 0 or an integer,R1 and R2 independently represent alkyl groups of up to 30 carbon atoms with the proviso that either at least one of R1 and R2 contains more than 4 carbon atoms or R1 and R2 together represent the necessary atoms to complete a cyclic structure including the nitrogen atom to which they are attached,each Y is the same and represents a hydrogen atom, an alkoxy group of up to 12 carbon atoms or a dialkylamino group which is different to the group,and, X?represents an anion.
Thermal Cycloaddition Reactions of ?-Delocalized Singlet Vinylcarbenes: Three-Carbon 1,1-/1,3-Dipoles. The Thermal Three-Carbon + Two-Carbon Cycloaddition

Full details of investigations defining new aspects of the scope and mechanism of the three-carbon + two-carbon cycloaddition reaction of ?-delocalized singlet vinylcarbenes (three-carbon 1,1-/1,3-dipoles generated in a reversible, thermal ring opening of cyclopropenone ketals) are detailed.
