Abstract

Absorption spectra in the region 220–400 mμ have been determined for alkyl- and phenyl-substituted pyrylium salts. Three bands are apparent, in the decreasing order of wavelength, x, y, and x′ bands. These bands are differently influenced by substitution in α and γ positions. Relationships of these bands with transitions in other aromatic compounds are established, and the effect of heteroatom variation in the series III–VI on the spectrum is discussed.

      The oxygen atom's electronegativity causes the positive charge to appear in positions 2 and 6 and position 4. In these positions, carbon atoms behave as secondary carbonium ions, highly reactive and unstable [41]. Substituents at the ortho- and para-positions in a pyrylium ring make them relatively resistant to nucleophilic attack and radical dimerization.
