Abstract

π-Conjugated donor-acceptor systems based on dithiafulvene (DTF) donor units and various acceptor units have attracted attention for their linear and nonlinear optical properties. The reaction between p-benzoquinone and a 1,3-dithiole phosphonium salt, deprotonated by lithium hexamethyldisilazide (LiHMDS), gave a product mixture from which the Michael adduct [systematic name: dimethyl 2-(3-hydroxy-6-oxocyclohexa-2,4-dien-1-ylidene)-2H-1,3-dithiole-4,5-dicarboxylate], C13H10O6S2, was isolated. It is likely that one of the unidentified products obtained previously by others from related reactions could be a similar Michael adduct.
