4-alkylamino-3-bromo-N-alkyl-1,8-naphthalimides: new photochemically activatable antiviral compounds

Synthesis and spectroscopic properties of 4-amino-1,8-naphthalimide derivatives involving the carboxylic group: a new molecular probe for ZnO nanoparticles with unusual fluorescence features

“…Owing to the high fluorescence quantum yields 1,8-naphthalimides are used as laser dyes [5–6]. Some naphthalimide derivatives have also been reported to be efficient fluorescent molecular probes [7–8]. …”

Spectroscopic and thermal characterization of Cu(II), Co(II), Ni(II) and Mn(II) complexes of fluorescent dye 4-N,N-dimethyl-ethanolamine-N-allyl-1,8-naphthalimide (4DMEAN)

“…They have found applications in sun energy collectors [2], laser active media [3,4] potential photosensitive biologically active units [5], also as fluorescent markers in biology [6] and in medicine [7,8].…”

Water-Solvent Method for the Synthesis of N-Substituted and N-,4-Disubstituted 1,8-Naphthalimides under Microwave Irradiation

“…To the best of our knowledge, this reaction has not been reported previously under this condition and it aroused our interest for further progress. Additionally, this class of naphthalimides 3 exhibit excellent photochemical properties, good light stability, and good spectral properties, and they have become increasingly popular in a number of areas including laser active media, [10] potential photosensitive biological units, [7] analgesics in medicine, [11] ion probes, [12] and so forth. More effort has been invested in search for the best synthetic conditions.…”

“…[3] Therefore it is very attractive to combine a water-solvent system with microwave irradiation. [3a,3d,3e] In recent years, 1,8-naphthalimide derivatives have been the subjects of numerous synthetic efforts, because they have applications in dyeing synthetic polymers and textile materials, [4] in solar energy collectors [5] , as fluorescent tags for use in molecular biology, [6] for potential photosensitizing biological activity, [7] and in liquid-crystalline displays. [8] Available methods for naphthalimides are listed in the literature.…”
