2,8-Dihalogenated Diazocines: Versatile Reactants for Functionalized Photoswitches

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Diazocine photoswitches possess distinctive structural characteristics and remarkable photochemical properties, leading to their growing application in photopharmacology and smart materials. We report the synthesis of 2,8-pseudo-para-substituted diazocines with two bromo, two iodo, or a combination of both substituents, achieving effective scalability. Besides demonstrating good reactivity in Suzuki cross-coupling reactions, the substituted diazocines predominantly retain their good photochemical properties, rendering them valuable components for said applications.
