Abstract:[structure: see text] Ethynyl-linked benzofuran-naphthyridine compounds show high-yield fluorescence with solvatochromic properties. One of the compounds, ABAN, has successfully formed fluorescent organic nanoparticles (FONs), for which the photophysical properties such as the spectral features and intensity are remarkably different from those at the molecular level (solution) and in bulk material. The results are tentatively rationalized by the FONs inducing coplanarization of the benzofuran-naphthyridine mol… Show more
“…When the aryl halide has an ucleophilic substituent group (e.g.,O H) in the ortho position, cyclization to the corresponding heterocyclic compound occurs exclusively under Sonogashira reaction conditions. [30,31] Therefore, 1 was protected using acetic anhydride in al arge excess of pyridine to provide 2. After workup,t he crude reaction mixture was directly subjected to Sonogashira cross-couplingconditions (Pd II ,CuI, NEt 3 ,toluene), [31] with aromatic acetylenes to yield acetate-protected HBT 6.B yr emoving the acetate protecting group under alkaline condition (K 2 CO 3 ,M eOH/THF), the target 3'-substituted HBT derivatives 7 were obtained.…”

Although the organic dyes based on excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) mechanism have attracted significant attention, the structure-property relationship of ESIPT dyes needs to be further exploited. In this paper, three series of ethynyl-extended regioisomers of 2-(2'-hydroxyphenyl)benzothiazole (HBT), at the 3'-, 4'- and 6-positions, respectively, have been synthesized. Changes in the absorption and emission spectra were correlated with the position and electronic nature of the substituent groups. Although 4'- and 6-substituted HBT derivatives exhibited absorption bands at longer wavelengths, the keto-emission of 3'-substituted HBT derivatives was found at a substantially longer wavelength. The gradual red-shifted fluorescence emission was found for 3'-substituted HBT derivatives where the electron-donating nature of substituent group increased, which was opposite to what was observed for 4'- and 6-substituted HBT derivatives. The results derived from the theoretical calculations were in conformity with the experimental observations. Our study could potentially provide experimental and theoretical basis for designing novel ESIPT dyes that possess unique fluorescent properties.

“…Selective mono-iodination at the 3-position was achieved by using an excess of iodine monochloride on 5-methylsalicylaldehyde in acetic acid (59 % yield of isolated product). 3-Iodo-5-methyl- (23) [33] HBO 24 was first protected with an acetate group by reaction with acetic anhydride in dichloromethane with catalytic amounts of pyridine. The crude material was immediately subjected to Sonogashira conditions with p-tolylacetylene or pdibutylaminoacetylene as acetylene sources to yield acetate-protected HBOs 25 and 26 in 91 and 66 % yield, respectively.…”
A series of thirteen luminescent tetrahedral borate complexes based on the 2-(2'-hydroxyphenyl)benzoxazole (HBO) core is presented. Their synthesis includes the incorporation of an ethynyl fragment by Sonogashira cross-coupling reaction, with the goal of extending the conjugation and consequently redshifting their emission wavelength. Different regioisomers, substituted in the 3-, 4-, or 5-position of the phenolate side of the HBO core, were studied in order to compare their photophysical properties. The complexes were characterized by X-ray diffraction and NMR, UV/Vis, and emission spectroscopy in solution and in the solid state. In all cases, complexation to boron leads to a donor-acceptor character that impacts their photophysical properties. Complexes with a 3- or 5-substituted fragment display mild to pronounced internal charge transfer (ICT), a feature strengthened by the presence of p-dibutylaminophenylacetylene in the molecular structure, protonation of the nitrogen atom of which leads to a significant blueshift and an increase in quantum yield. On the contrary, when the ethynyl module is grafted on the 4-position, narrow, structured, symmetrical absorption/emission bands are observed. Moreover, the fact that protonation has little effect on the emission maximum wavelength reveals singlet excited-state decay. Solid-state emission properties reveal a redshift compared to solution, explained by tight packing of the π-conjugated systems and the high planarity of the dyes. Subsequent connection of these complexes to other photoactive subunits (BODIPY, Boranil) provides dyads in which efficient cascade energy transfer is observed.
