Eight fluorescent compounds containing a naphthotriazole moiety substituted at position 2 by a (vinylsulfonyl)aryl group or its precursors, containing hydroxyl or sulphonic groups or N-methylglycine, were prepared and characterized. The products were recovered in moderate yields after column chromatography or recrystallization and identified by proton and carbon nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Double resonance, heteronuclear multiple quantum coherence and heteronuclear multiple bond correlation experiments were carried out for complete assignment of proton and carbon signals. Absorption and emission spectra were obtained, in acetonitrile, for all the compounds and the fluorescence quantum yields determined. All compounds are promising fluorescent probes due to their high fluorescence quantum yields.
Amination O 0268Aza-Michael Reactions with Vinyl Sulfones and Amberlyst-15 as Catalyst. -Aliphatic primary or secondary amines and vinyl sulfones (I) give good to excellent yields of the corresponding aminoalkylsulfones in the presence of the Amberlyst-15 catalyst. In the absence of this catalyst, the yields are significantly lower. Aromatic amines are less reactive. -(ESTEVES*, A. P.; SILVA, M. E.; RODRIGUES, L. M.; OLIVEIRA-CAMPOS, A. M.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
