The synthesis of spiropyrans was improved significantly with use of ultrasonic radiation. To show the broad applicability of this methodology a range of spiropyrans were prepared which are equipped with iodo, hydroxyl, ethinyl: or azido groups as potential building blocks for conjugation to functional pi-systems or biopolymers. Representatively, the conjugation chemistry was demonstrated for the preparation of spiropyran conjugates with pyrene. perylene, and nile red via the "click"-type cyclo-addition. These molecular dyads were characterized by optical spectroscopy.
