Synthesis of the first representative of dicarbothiacyanine dyes with completely fluorinated polymethine chain
摘要:
2-Iodobenzothiazole was reacted with tributyl(pentafluorobutadienyl)tin in the Stille reaction conditions to give 2-pentafluorobutadienylbenzothiazole 1. The quaternary salt of 1 via interaction with 2-fluoromethylbenzothiazole methylene base, obtained in situ, forms two cyanine dyes 8 and 9 as a result of nucleophilic attack of two different positions of perfluorobutadiene chain. The pure 2-fluoromethylbenzothiazole methylene base (in a dimer form) was obtained by deprotonation of the corresponding salt by NaH and on reacting with I forms the dye base 11 that underwent electrocyclization and subsequent HF addition to form the cyclohexadiene 12 identified by X-ray analysis data. Upon quaternization and HF abstraction by toluidine the recyclization occurred and dye 8 - the first representative of dicarbothiacyanine dyes with perfluorinated polymethine chain - was obtained. It has lambda(max) = 691 nm, that is 41 nm more than in non fluorinated dye, vinylene shift is equal to 111 nm. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
