Abstract
The synthesis of monofunctional azulenyl squaraine dye NIRQ700 is described. The essential azulene intermediate 3, 1-(methoxycarbonyl)-2-methylazulene, was achieved via [8+ 2] cycloaddition between lactone 2, 2H-3-methoxycarbonyl-cyclohepta [b] furan-2-one, and the in situ generated vinyl ethers under high temperature and pressure conditions. Methylation on the cycloheptatriene ring of 2-methyl azulene 6 via Meisenheimer-type ...
