A protected pentacene precursor is functionalized in the 6- and 13-positions with alkyne groups and subsequently derivatized by a copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne Huisgen cycloaddition (CuAAC) reaction. Aromatization then gives the desired pentacene derivatives. This method offers an expedient route to a range of bench-top stable, pentacene, and oligopentacene based chromophores, all derived from a single building block. These new pentacene derivatives are characterized by NMR, IR, and UV-Vis spectroscopies. X-ray crystallographic data for two derivatives is used to evaluate the prospect of electronic communication in the solid state via π-stacking interactions. Full Paper: The CuAAC reaction of azides with a protected pentacene precursor is developed to formally establish compatibility of this powerful reaction with the conjugated pentacene chromophore. Alkyl, aryl, heteroaryl, and oligomeric azides are successfully used. Copyright © 2012 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim.
