Abstract

AzaBenzannulated PDI (AzaBPDI) dyes were synthesized in high yields via a new reaction sequence involving an imine condensation followed by visible light-induced photocyclization. The large scope and efficiency of this alternative to the Pictet-Spengler reaction is demonstrated, and allows the easy preparation of dimeric AzaBPDI as potential non-fullerene acceptors for organic solar cells.
