Abstract
A group of 3,3-diaryl-3 H-naphtho[2,1-b]pyran compounds with functional substituents at the 5- and 6-positions of the naphthopyran skeleton and the para positions at the 3-aryl moieties were prepared through condensation reactions between 2-naphthol derivatives and 1,1-diarylprop-2-yn-1-ol derivatives. The chemical structures of the compounds were confirmed by NMR and MS. The crystal structure of 3,3-diphenyl-6-morpholino-3 H-naphtho[2,1-b]pyran ( 4b) was determined and the relationship between the pyran substructure and photochromism was discussed. The photochromic properties were studied as well, and decoloration kinetics of colored forms was fitted to the biexponential model. Among these compounds, 4b was considered to be the best one due to the large ΔOD of colored form, which is one of the most important properties used in the photochromic material.
