Synthese von substituierten 2-(Ethoxycarbonyl-formyl-methylen)-2H-benzopyranen und ihre Überführung in Polymethinderivate

Abstract

3-Chloro-2-ethoxycarbonyl crotonic aldehydeC reacts with several 2-hydroxybenzene carbaldehydes and 2-hydroxy-naphthalene-1-carbaldehyde, respectively, to give 2-(ethoxycarbonyl-formyl-methylene)-2H-benzopyrans1a–h under mild conditions. With exception of1c and1d these compounds are mixtures ofE–Z isomers.1a–h easily undergo reactions, e.g. with aniline and derivatives to give2a–e, with various CH-acidic compounds to give3a–h and with 2-alkyl-4,6-diphenyl pyrylium salts to give4a–e. In the presence of alcoholic hydrochloric acid, compounds1 are converted into symmetrical 2,2′-benzopyrylotrimethine salts5a–e which exhibit longwave absorptions from 640–705 nm. These polymethine dyes with ester groups in the methine chain exhibit a remarkable thermal stability.
