Abstract

New hetarylethenes, viz., 3-[(E)-alk-1-enyl]-4-(1-alkyl-5-methoxy-2-methyl-1H-indol-3-yl)furan-2,5-diones, exhibiting photochromic properties in solution were synthesized. The molecular and crystal structure of 3-(5-methoxy-1,2-dimethyl-1H-indol-3-yl)-4-[(E)-prop-1-enyl]furan-2,5-dione was determined by X-ray diffraction. The initial and photoinduced forms of hetarylethenes are characterized by thermal stability. The open-ring isomers of furandiones exhibit fluorescence with quantum yields of up to 0.1.
