“…In ethanol media, compound 5 which is di-alkylated at 9-aminoposition, shows a higher fraction of basic form. Globally, when comparing with similar compounds without a bulky group at the terminal of 5-amino position [15], it is possible to conclude that the bulky groups used in this study, significantly increase the fraction of basic form. The absorption spectra of compound 4a, possessing OH functionality at position 2, shows a very distinct behaviour.…”
