Dibenzo[d,f][1,3] dioxepine derivatives: A review

This review presents a survey of synthetic methods and reaction mechanism of the dibenzod,f]1,3] dioxepine derivatives. Furthermore, the influence of the substituent groups in 6,6′‐position of dibenzod,f]1,3] dioxepine on their conformation is explored. The functional dibenzod,f]1,3] dioxepine synthetically versatiles substrate, as they can be used for synthesis of a large variety of π‐conjugated oligomer and polymer containing heterocyclic compounds, such as dibromination dibenzod,f]1,3] dioxepine derivative as a raw material of synthesis for organic semiconductor polymers. The synthetic and fluorescent property of π‐conjugated polymers basic on dibenzod,f]1,3] dioxepine also is explored. J. Heterocyclic Chem., (2012).
