Abstract

Tetraarylpyrroles with a 1-azulenyl substituent were prepared by the reaction of 1-azulenyl ketones, which have various aryl-substituents at their α-position, with benzoin in the presence of ammonium acetate as a nitrogen source of the pyrrole ring. Optical property of the tetraarylpyrroles obtained by the reaction was clarified by UV/Vis spectroscopy and/or time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) calculations.
