New photochromic (2Z )-2-(N-acyl0N-arylaminomethylidene)benzo[b]thiophen-3(2H )-ones containing L-amino acid derivatives as migrating groups were synthesized. Light irradiation of their solutions at 436 nm leads to the photoinduced acylotropic rearrangement N → O accompanied by migration of the chiral fragment. The bulky N-acyl group causes steric strain thus destabilizing the amide form of compounds and facilitating the photorearrangement.
