Our research activities over the last few decades have concerned correlations between molecular structure and fluorescence.[1, 2] A central theme of the research has been the synthesis and spectroscopic investigations of near-infrared (NIR) dyes [3] to get insights into what degree the obtainable fluorescence quantum yields [4, 5] are restricted by the S0 $ S1 energy gap.[6, 7] Our results [8] on the condensation of 1, 4-phthalazinediones with heteroarylacetonitriles in POCl3 prompted us to carry out the reaction with diketopyrrolopyrroles (DPPs) 1.[9] Herein we report the results of the investigations.To date, attempts to activate the carbonyl group of DPPs with POCl3, and to subsequently convert the intermediates with nucleophiles, only led to monosubstitution or to ring opening.[9, 10] The reaction of 1 and 2 in refluxing toluene with an excess of POCl3 according to Scheme 1 afforded disubstituted NIR dyes 3. The progress of the reaction was controlled by recording absorption spectra and stopping the heating as soon as the DPP was used up and/or products absorbing at short wavelengths appeared. Purification was carried out by digesting the product in acetone and subsequent flash chromatography (silica gel/CHCl3 or CH2Cl2). The NIR dyes 3a–3h (the structures and spectroscopic data of 3b–3h can be found in the Supporting Information) were synthesized according to this procedure (Scheme1) from the reaction of 1 [11] and 2. The course of the reactions was the same in all cases and side-products with strong absorptions below 350 nm were observed. These side-products are most likely compounds formed by the opening of the DPPs pentalene ring system.
