Abstract

The reaction of the free amine group in polyaryl-substituted imidazole structures with phenyl isocyanate or dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate gave two new series of polyaryl-substituted imidazoles: biaryl ureas or vinyl esters, respectively. Besides their spectroscopic analysis, we explored the optical and electrochemical properties of these highly conjugated scaffolds. Comparing these properties in two categories of products yielded interesting results.
