Abstract
Two series (4,6-dihydro and 4,6-dimethyl) of syn-bimanes [1,5-diazabicyclo[3.3.0]octa-3,6-diene-2,8-diones] have been converted to acetylene and diacetylene derivatives. Their chemical and photophysical properties are reported. The 3-(and 6-)iodo (diiodo) derivatives are the best choices for Stille or Heck condensations with acetylenes or acrylates. Desilylation of (trimethylsilyl)-acetylenes is best carried out with silver nitrate followed by lithium bromide. The acetylenes and diacetylenes are quite stable and highly fluorescent and represent candidate units for incorporation into polymers.
