3-Cyano-2-(dicyano)methylene-4-methyl-2,5-dihydrofurans in the synthesis of nonlinear-optical chromophores (minireview)

  • HETEROCYCLES IN FOCUS
  • Published:
Chemistry of Heterocyclic Compounds Aims and scope

This minireview reflects the most significant advances in the synthesis of promising nonlinear-optical chromophores over the last 5–10 years. We focus on the studies of chromophores combining an electron-donating moiety with an electron-withdrawing 3-cyano-2-(dicyano)methylene-2,5-dihydrofuran-4-yl group through a linker containing a polyene motif or one to two five-membered heterocycles.
