Popis: Unsymmetrical 5,12-diethynyltetracene derivatives were synthesized from tetracenequinone by the addition of two types of ethynyllithium reagents, followed by reductive aromatization with SnCl2­. These three-step reactions could be integrated into a one-pot process to give unsymmetrically substituted 5,12-diethynyltetracene derivatives in moderate yields. Some unsymmetrical 5,12-bis(phenylethynyl)tetracene derivatives were synthesized from 5-ethynyl-12-phenylethynyltetracene and iodobenzenes by Sonogashira coupling. This integrated process was applied to the synthesis of a π-extended tetracene dimer. The photophysical properties of these compounds were examined by UV/Vis and fluorescence spectroscopy.
