Abstract

Introduction of a substituent into a sterically demanding 2-position of a 3-(4-pyrrolidinophenyl) ring of a 3,3-diaryl-3H-naphtho[2,1-b]pyran results in the generation of an additional short wavelength absorption band leading to organic photochromes that appear as dull shades of orange and red.
