Abstract

The novel hetero-stilbene derivatives were synthesized by the Wittig reaction between 2-formyl-4-pyrones and polysubstituted imidazole-based phosphonium salts in the presence of a base. The optical properties of the products were investigated via UV–Vis absorption and fluorescent emission spectroscopy in dilute ethanol solution. Electrochemical properties were also studied by the cyclic voltammetry in CH2Cl2 solutions. The phosphorus ylides obtained from α-halocarbonyls were also condensed with 2-formyl-4-pyrone to give two electrochemically inactive and non-emitting products.
