4,6-Dimethylene- and 4,6-trimethylene-1,1,3,7,9-4,8-nonadienes were obtained by the reaction of 2,4-dimethylene- and 2,4-trimethylene-1,1,5,7-tetraethoxy-2,6-heptadienes with vinyl ethyl ether. Treatment of the products with N-methylaniline in an acidic medium gave the corresponding nonamethine salts. Condensation of the latter with 2-methyl-3-ethylbenzothiazolium iodide led to thiapentacarbocyanine dyes having symmetrically arranged di- and trimethylene bridges between the meta atoms of the polymethine chain. The reaction of glutaconaldehyde acetal with the cyclic 1-alkoxy-1,3-dienes led to the synthesis of 2,4-dimethylene- and 2,4-trimethylene-1,1,5,9,9-pentaalkoxy-2,6-nonadienes, from the thiapentacarbocyanines with an unsymmetrical arrangement of the dimethylene and trimethylene bridges were obtained through the respective nonamethine salts. A thiahexacarbocyanine dye containing a trimethylene bridge was synthesized from the undercamethine salt obtained from the product from the reaction of 1,1,5,9,9-pentamethoxy-2,4-trimethylene-2,6-nonadiene with vinyl ethyl ether.
