Abstract

An approach to the synthesis of novel group of negative photochromes has been developed based on the interaction of the tricycanofuran TCF or hydroxytricyanopyrrole HTCP acceptors with methoxy-substituted 2-hydroxybenzaldehydes in ethanol in the presence of ammonium acetate. An essential part of the obtained photochromes is a combination of a phenol fragment and a butadienetricarbonitrile BDTC acceptor connected via a vinylene bridge. The synthesized compounds are sensitive to visible light T-type photochromes. A transformation degree of the initial form, as well as the rate of the reverse dark reaction, can be varied by changing both the position of a methoxy group at aromatic ring and the type of the heterocycle with the BDTC fragment.
