Abstract
An asymmetrical tri-petal lilac-like platform based on perylene bisimide (PBI) was designed and synthesized to further perform the ether-exchange reaction, while common tetraphenoxy PBI analogue cannot do it. We found that the tri-petal lilac-like platform strategy not only avoids the regioisomers of difunctionalized PBI, but also is a precise and facile way to achieve regioselective introduction of alkyloxy, alkylthio and C=C double bond ended substituents onto the 1-position of perylene bay without the use and removal of the protecting groups. Due to the tunable photoelectrical properties and functional groups at bay position, these n-type PBI derivatives are promising materials for photovoltaic and supramolecular application.

PBI 3 (0.99 mmol) and THF (20 mL) were then added. The resulting mixture was heated to reflux for 2 h. The product was isolated by chromatography over silica gel with CH2Cl2–petroleum ether (1:2) as eluent to give a purple solid (0.76 g, 71%); mp 170–172 °C. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3, TMS): δ = 9.36 (d, J = 8.3 Hz, 1 H), 8.60 (d, J = 8.3 Hz, 1 H), 8.39 (s, 1 H), 8.32 (s, 1 H), 8.21 (s, 1 H), 7.22 (dd, J 1 = 6.5 Hz, J 2 = 8.7 Hz, 4 H), 6.80 (dd, J 1 = 8.8 Hz, J 2 = 13.5 Hz, 4 H), 5.82 (m, 1 H), 4.99 (d, J = 17.1 Hz, 1 H), 4.93 (d, J = 10.2 Hz, 1 H), 4.47 (br, 2 H), 4.10 (m, 4 H), 2.06 (m, 4 H), 1.92 (m, 2 H), 1.62 (m, 2 H), 1.20–1.44 (m, 44 H), 0.80–1.00 (m, 12 H). 13C NMR (100 MHz, CDCl3, TMS): δ = 164.2, 164.0, 163.9, 163.7, 157.4, 156.3, 155.3, 152.8, 152.6, 147.3, 147.2, 139.2, 133.3, 131.7, 130.4, 133.3, 131.7, 130.4, 126.4, 124.1, 123.2, 122.7, 122.6, 121.6, 121.5, 120.8, 120.6, 120.5, 119.4, 119.3, 119.2, 114.7, 114.1, 70.4, 44.4, 44.3, 38.0, 34.4, 34.3, 33.8, 31.4, 30.8, 29.5, 29.4, 29.3, 29.1, 28.9, 28.8, 26.3, 24.1, 23.1, 14.1, 10.6.
