Microwave-assisted Synthesis of Perylene-3,4-dicarboximides: Highly Photostable Fluorescent Dyes
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 February 2011
Abstract
A new method for synthesis of perylene-3,4-dicarboximides (PDCIs) is reported. Modified from a literature reported synthetic method, microwave assisted heating was used to perform the reaction, which not only shortened the original reaction time, from 18 hours to 30 min, but also increased the corresponding reaction yield. A variety of PDCI derivatives were synthesized in order to correlate the influence of substituents on the reaction outcome. Moreover, the photophysical and electrochemical properties of PDCIs are characterized and reported.
