Synthesis of a Novel X-Type Chromophore with Two Imidazole Groups Under Microwave Irradiation

Abstract

A novel series of asymmetric X-type chromophore, which bears two imidazole groups, were designed and synthesized in two steps at high yields under microwave irradiation. All of the chromophores were characterized by ¹H NMR and IR spectra. The organic compound shows better thermal stability due to the molecular structure introduced by the imidazole heterocyle.
