Abstract:Comprehensive SummaryIsoindigo (IID) is widely used as organic dye and conjugated unit in opto‐electronic materials. Functionalization of IID to increase its structural complexity is demanding for obtaining diversity properties. Herein, we developed a direct C—H/N—H activation method of IIDs via double alkyne annulations and synthesized π‐extended IIDs with two pairs of 5/7 membered rings. The structure of the π‐extended IIDs was characterized and confirmed by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, HRMS and X ray crystal analysis. … 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.
