Synthesis and Fluorescence of 6-(4-Dimethylaminophenyl)- and 6-[2-(4-N,N-Disubstituted Aminophenyl)vinyl]-4-methylthio-2-oxo-2H-pyran-3-carbonitriles in Solution and in the Solid States
2H-Pyronederivatives were synthesized through the reaction of aryl acetyl compounds with ketene dithioacetals in the presence of sodium hydroxide, and they showed very strong fluorescence in the solid state. The light-emitting region of these 2H-pyrones is 447-630 nm in the solid states.
Abstractmagnified imageNew 2‐pyrone derivatives, dialkyl 3‐cyano‐6‐phenyl‐2‐oxo‐2H‐pyran‐4‐ylmalonates and alkyl 3‐cyano‐6‐phenyl‐2‐oxo‐2H‐pyran‐4‐ylacetates, which were easily prepared by the reaction of 6‐aryl‐4‐methyl‐sulfanyl‐2‐oxo‐2H‐pyran‐3‐carbonitriles with active methylene compounds in the presence of potassium carbonate, show fluorescence emission radiation. The light‐emitting region of dimethyl 3‐cyano‐6‐(4‐N,N‐dimethylamino)styryl‐2‐oxo‐2H‐pyran‐4‐ylmalonate (7h) was 620 nm in dichloromethane, making this compound a typical red fluorescent compound. Methyl 8‐hydroxy‐6‐methyl‐1‐oxo‐3‐phenyl‐1H‐pyrano‐[3,4‐c]pyridine‐5‐carboxylate deriv‐atives also showed fluorescence in the solid state. This is the first example of fluorescence in fused 2‐pyrone derivatives.
