THE PREPARATION OF AROMATIC NLO AMINE AND DIAMINE MONOMERS FOR POLYMERIZATION - A MILD MITSUNOBU COUPLING TECHNIQUE FOR THE TETHERING OF SENSITIVE NLO CHROMOPHORES

Polymerizable NLO monomers, including those containing highly nonlinea r, reagent sensitive chromophores, are prepared under very mild condit ions using a deprotection strategy, coupled with Mitsunobu chemistry.
