Photochemical study of electrocyclization of 4-aryl-5-hetarylimidazolones for information optical recording
摘要:
Irreversible photocyclization of 4-(het)aryl-5-(beta-hydroxyvinyl) imidazolone derivatives into fused polycyclic structures proceeds with elimination of water molecule. A relationship between quantum yields, spectral characteristics and the structures of starting materials and cyclization products has been established. The results obtained are of interest in creation of optical recording media with fluorescent readout of the written information.
Reaction of 4-hydroxycoumarin with arylglyoxals and ureas
摘要:
One-pot condensation of 4-hydroxycoumarin with arylglyoxals and ureas gave 4-aryl-5-(4-hydroxy-2-oxo-2H-chromen-3-yl)-1H-imidazol-2(3H)-ones. The same compounds may be obtained from aroylbis(4-hydroxy-2-oxo-2H-chromen-3-yl)methanes and urea. The reaction of 4-bromobenzaldehyde with 4-hydroxycoumarin in the presence of urea led to the formation of the corresponding Michael adduct without participation of urea.
