Abstract:The bromine-lithium exchange-borylation-Suzuki sequence efficiently furnishes phenothiazine-terephthalonitrile donor-acceptor dyads and triads in high yields. In contrast to most phenothiazine-acceptor conjugates the title compounds are ligated in p-position to the phenothiazine nitrogen atom. Moreover, the acceptors are either directly linked or ligated by an arylene bridge and p-anisyl Nsubstituents on the phenothiazine are chosen to lock the tricycle into an intra-configuration. Cyclic voltammetry reveals e… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
