The syntheses of the 4- and 5-methoxy isomers of 4-N-(6-methoxy-2-methyl-8-quinolyl)-4-methylbenzenesulfon-amide and of N-(2-methoxy-8-quinolyl)-4-methylbenzenesulfonamide are described. The 6-methoxy compound is a precursor of Zinquin ester, a specific fluorophore for Zn(II). The 2-methoxy analogue was synthesized by nitration of 2-chloroquinoline and subsequent functional group manipulation. The 4-methoxy isomer was synthesized from a 4-quinolone derivative, and the 5-methoxy isomer was synthesized by a standard Skraup quinoline synthesis. The structures of the 4- and 5-methoxy isomers were determined by single-crystal X-ray analysis. All of these compounds showed a bathochromic shift in their ultraviolet/visible spectra upon addition of Zn(II) to the solution. These compounds are all weakly or non-fluorescent in solution. All form fluorescent complexes with Zn(II) except the 5-methoxy compound. The 4-methoxy compound forms a significantly more fluorescent complex than those of the 6-methoxy compound and Zinquin ester and has a higher quantum yield than the others.
介绍了 4-N-(6-甲氧基-2-甲基-8-喹啉基)-4-甲基苯磺酰胺和 N-(2-甲氧基-8-喹啉基)-4-甲基苯磺酰胺的 4-和 5-甲氧基异构体的合成。6- 甲氧基化合物是 Zinquin 酯的前体,是 Zn(II)的特异性荧光团。2-甲氧基类似物是通过 2-氯喹啉的硝化和随后的官能团操作合成的。4-甲氧基异构体是由 4-喹啉酮衍生物合成的,而 5-甲氧基异构体则是通过标准的 Skraup 喹啉合成法合成的。4- 和 5-甲氧基异构体的结构是通过单晶 X 射线分析确定的。在溶液中加入 Zn(II)后,所有这些化合物的紫外/可见光谱都出现了浴色偏移。这些化合物在溶液中都是弱荧光或无荧光。除 5-甲氧基化合物外,所有化合物都会与 Zn(II)形成荧光络合物。与 6-甲氧基化合物和锌喹酯相比,4-甲氧基化合物形成的荧光络合物明显更强,量子产率也更高。
