Abstract

Symmetric and unsymmetric diaroyl-S,N-ketene acetals can be readily accessed in consecutive syntheses in good to excellent yields by exploiting the inherent nucleophilic character of the methine position. Different aroyl-S,N-ketene acetals as well as acid chlorides yield a library of 19 diaroyl compounds with substitution and linker pattern-tunable emission properties, leading to a significant red-shift of emission in the solid and aggregated state, which was thoroughly investigated. Additionally, the stability of the luminescent aggregates is highly increased. In a follow-up one-pot procedure, pyrazolo-S,N-ketene acetals can easily be accessed employing a nucleophilic cyclocondensation.
