ABSTRACT
A process has been developed for the synthesis of a new photochromic alkylene sulfide derivative. The process involves the synthesis of an alkylene sulfide with terminal free amino groups and a novel unsymmetrical photochromic diarylperfluorocyclopentene containing an aldehyde group, which coupled together to produce the corresponding Schiff base. The structures of the products were confirmed by a range of spectroscopic techniques.
