Abstract: In this contribution we describe a series of pyranylidene derivatives bearing bromine atoms in various positions.
Some of these bromo derivatives have been converted in carboxylic acid by halogen-metal exchange reaction using
gaseous CO2 as electrophile. Selected compounds have been studied by UV-visible absorption and cyclic voltametry to
study the influence of the substituent on the pyranylidene core.
