| Summary: | The focus of this project is the chemical synthesis and characterization of a furan-based fused-ring unit. These units acts as cornerstone for development of non-fullerene acceptors for
organic electronic applications. Organic chemical synthesis methodologies like esterification,
Suzuki coupling, organolithium substituition, intramolecular Friedel-Crafts reaction and NBS
bromination were carried out to acquire the target molecule DF6 (2,7-dibromo-4,4,9,9-
tetrakis(4-octylphenyl)-4,9-dihydro-s-indaceno[1,2-b:5,6-b']difuran). All intermediates
synthesized were identified with characterization techniques such as FTIR and H1-NMR
spectroscopy. Suggestions to ameliorate the synthesis techniques will be discussed to aid
potential future works revolving furan-based molecules. |
