New small acceptor–donor (A–D) molecules have been recently investigated as a component of organic solar cells. In this research, 2-((4-(2-ethylhexyl)-1,2,3,3a,4,8b-hexahydrocyclopenta[b]indol-7-yl)methylene)malononitrile was prepared from 4-(2-ethylhexyl)-1,2,3,3a,4,8b-hexahydrocyclopenta[b]indole in a two-step process via Vilsmeier–Haack formylation and Knoevenagel reaction with malononitrile. The structures of newly synthesized compounds were established by means of elemental analysis, high-resolution mass spectrometry, 1H, 13C NMR, IR and UV–Vis spectroscopy, as well as mass spectrometry.
