Abstract: The title compounds(Ⅲa, R1=H, R2=NO2, Ⅲb, R1=NO2,R2=H, Ⅲc,R1=Cl,R2=NO2,Ⅲb, R1=Br,R2=NO2, Ⅲc, R1=R2=NO2) were prepared by condensation of 1-octyl-3,3-dimethyl-2-methyleneindoline (Ⅰ) and substituted salicylaldehydes (Ⅱ) in anhydrous ethanol. Photochromic properties of these compounds were investigated by UV/VIS spectra measurement and photochromic film obtained from Ⅲa-c Compounds Ⅲa and Ⅲc-e are found to be good photochromic reagents.
