Some Products from C=O Condensations of Quinacridones

Quinacridone chemistry has been developed which provides a source of new compounds that have potential application in organic photovoltaic (OPV) devices. Phosphoryl chloride is used for the conversion carbonyl groups N,N′-dialkylquinacridones, generating reactive intermediates enable selective condensation with either one or two nucleophilic molecules under mild conditions.
