Synthesis of Some Bromomethyl‐ and (4‐Bromomethyl)phenyl‐Derivatives of 1,4,8,11 Tetraaza[14] annulene and Their Corresponding Sulfanylmethylene‐Derivatives Using 3‐Substituted Trimethinium Salts

Four new 6,13‐di(bromomethyl)‐ and di[(4‐bromomethyl)phenyl]1,4,8,11‐tetraaza[14]annulene derivatives C , D , E , F were synthesized using the condensation reaction of the correspondingly substituted vinamidinium salts with aromatic amines in acetonitrile/acetic acid. The reaction of these annulenes with thiourea leads to the corresponding thiol derivatives G and H . The UV/vis spectral behavior of compounds C , D , E , F , G , H was examined in DMSO. Elemental analysis, IR, 1 H‐NMR, 13 C‐NMR, and mass spectral data confirm the molecular structure of the newly synthesized compounds.
