Abstract

Abstract The synthesis of highly fluorescent conjugated benzodifuran aryl–vinyl systems, containing four double bonds and at least four phenyl rings, is described. The ethyl groups of diethyl 2, 6-dimethylbenzofuro [5, 6-b] furan-3, 7-dicarboxylate, obtained by the Michael type condensation of p-benzoquinone and ethyl acetoacetate, were replaced by octyl groups via the transesterification reaction to improve the desired product solubility in ...
