The crystal structure of 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-(phenyl(phenylsulfonyl)methyl)phenol, C27H32O3S

“…9-((4-Methoxyphenyl)sulfonyl)-9H-fluorene is a very selective and effective antimalarial agent, which shows pronounced activity against human skin cancer cells [7]. In addition, diarylmethylamines are also widely used as important synthetic intermediates in medicinal chemistry and materials science [8][9][10]. Our group has maintained a keen interest in the synthesis of the sulfones [11,12] and diarymethyl derivatives [13].…”

Triarylmethane dye-conjugated hexanuclear zinc complexes: Photophysical properties and cyanide anion-binding behavior

“…We compared the ZneX bond lengths in the leuco-and dyeform complexes with those in a model dinuclear complex, [Zn 2 bpmp(CH 3 CO 2 ) 2 ]BF 4 (bpmp ¼ 2,6-bis[N,N-bis(2-pyridylmethyl)aminomethyl]methylphenolato) (Table S1) [26]. In 2d, the ZneO(Ph) bond is longer than that in the model complex by 0.089 Å (averaged over 3 units), owing to the lower electrondonating ability of the phenolato group relative to that of the phenolato group in leuco-form complex.…”

“…Over the course of the last two decades, TAMs with various aryl groups, including heteroaromatic rings, have been developed [4] and used for a variety of purposes, including as indicator reagents [5,6], nonlinear optical materials [7e9], and near-infrared dyes [10,11]. TAM derivatives have also been used in supramolecular complexes [12,13], nanoscale fibers [14], self-assembled monolayers [15], and liquid crystals [16].…”

Novel Fischer’s Base Analogous of Leuco-TAM and TAM+ Dyes – Synthesis and Spectroscopic Characterization

“…TAM compounds are sometimes called leuco-TAMs (LTAMs) or leuco-bases. (Nair et al, 2006) LTAM molecules are the precursors of TAM + dyes since TAM + dyes are the oxidized form of LTAM molecules. Backbones of TAM molecules are also known to be an important group in intermediates in the synthesis of various organic functional compounds, including the preparation of polymers and supramolecules.…”
