Cycloaddition reactions of polyenic donor–π-acceptor systems with an electron-rich alkyne: access to new chromophores with second-order optical nonlinearities

Abstract

The formal [2 + 2] cycloaddition–cycloreversion (CA–CR) between 4-ethynyl-N,N-dimethylaniline and polyenic Donor–π-Acceptor (D–π-A) systems takes place to yield compounds bearing two donors and one acceptor. Structural, linear and second-order nonlinear optical (NLO) properties of the new molecules reveal the stronger polarization of these systems when compared to analogous merocyanines lacking the dimethylaminophenyl (DMA) ring.
