An efficient and quick access toward a series of (E)-2-arylideneaminopyrroles 6 and to their benzyne-promoted aza-Diels-Alder cycloaddition products is provided. These products are three pyrrolo[2,3-c]isoquinolines 8a-c substituted in position 5 with different electron-acceptor (A) or electron-donor (D) aryl groups. Intermediates and products were obtained in good yields (up to 78 and 84%, respectively), and their structures were determined on the basis of NMR measurements and HRMS analysis. Photophysical properties of 8a-c were investigated, finding good Stokes shift in different solvents, but only the product 8c showed appreciable fluorescence intensity since its 5-aryl group (2,4-Cl2Ph) could favor the twisted intramolecular charge transfer effect. In addition, a riveting relationship between solvent viscosity and fluorescence intensity was found. Structures of 6 and 8 were studied and confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, observing that their electronic distributions effect the supramolecular assembly but with only long-distance hydrophobic interactions. A CE-B3LYP model was used to study the energetic topology and understand the crystal architecture of compounds as well as find a connection with both the synthetic and photophysical results.
