Methoxycarbonyl Group as a Conformational Regulator for The Benzene Ring of Triphenylamines

Abstract

AbstractA series of triphenylamine derivatives bearing a methoxycarbonyl group at the meta‐position of the benzene ring were synthesized. The structural and physical properties based on the introduction of the methoxycarbonyl group into benzene ring were investigated by single crystal X‐ray diffraction, computational studies, and spectroscopic methods. It was revealed that the methoxycarbonyl group has not only structural regulations but also modifications of the electronic properties of the π‐conjugated moieties.
