Synthesis, Structure, and Properties of Novel Chain-Substituted and Chiral Trimethine Cyanine Dyes with Indoline End GroupsSynthesis and spectroscopic properties of the trimethine cyanine dyes 3, 8a, b, and 13a, b as well as 14a-c with new substitution patterns are described. Constitutions and configurations of 3, 8a, b and 14c have been determined by X-ray analyses (Figures 1, 2, and 6). Dye 3 exists in the previously unknown di-cis (E, E, Z, Z) configuration along the methine chain. Attempts to prepare 3 in a base-catalysed reaction unexpectedly led to the rearranged trimethine cyanine dyes 8a, b with a centre of chirality in one of the indoline end groups. Using this Wagner-Meerwein rearrangement after resolution, the chiral heterocyclic quaternary salts (S)-12a- c have been prepared, from which the optically active trimethine cyanine dyes (S,S)-14a-c have been obtained for the first time. The UV/VIS spectra of 3, 8a and 13a (Figure 7) as well as the CD spectra of 12a and 14a (Figures 3 and 4) are compared and discussed.
