✦ Synopsis


The base catalyzed N,N'-dialkylation of the vinylogous indigo dye cis-cis-2a proceeds with concomitant isomerization and yields cis-trans-2b,c as minor, and trans-trans-2b,c,d as major products. Upon exposure to light, cis-trans-2b,c isomerizes to trans-trans-2b,c. According to an X-ray analysis, trans-trans-2c and trans-trans-2d are planar. However, due to the different configurations of 2a and 2bd, the light absorption data of 2a-d cannot be used to quantify the inductive effects of the alkyl groups.
