Abstract
Procedures were developed for the synthesis of substituted bis(2,5-dimethyl-3-thienyl)furans based on 1,2-bis(2,5-dimethyl-3-thienyl)-2-hydroxyethanone. Dithienylethene structures in which the ethene fragment is involved in the furan or furopyrimidine system possess photochromic properties and their open forms exhibit fluorescence.
