Abstract
Formyl groups at 6- and 2,6-positions initiated Knoevenagel reactions of the methyl groups at the 7, and 1,7-positions of 1,3,5,7-tetramethyl BODIPY dyes with aromatic aldehydes. Formation of vinyl bonds at the 7-, and 1,7-positions facilitates further Knoevenagel reactions of the methyl groups at the 3,5-positions. This approach offers fast, facile and versatile ways to prepare potential novel building blocks of BODIPY dyes for conjugated oligomers, dendrimers, and highly water-soluble, near-infrared emissive sensing materials.
