Significance

This chemistry takes readily available starting materials and with an efficient (60-90% yield) cascade reaction sequence creates donor-acceptor chromophoric systems. Although the optical properties of these systems are not ­described, the reaction products are certain to have very high optical absorptions and related processes could be used to create novel emitters and electro-optical materials.
