“…Pure red color AQNQ was obtained by employing silica-gel-filled column chromatography in a DCM–hexane (5:1 v/v) eluent system (yield = 80%). R f = 0.13 (SiO 2 ; CH 2 Cl 2 /hexane), mp = 209.1 °C (literature: 210.4–210.8 °C). The 1 H NMR (500 MHz, in DMSO- d 6 ): δ = 10.27 (s, 1H, N–H), 9.00 (dd, 1H, Ar–H), 8.47 (dd, 1H, Ar–H), 8.11 (d, 1H, Ar–H), 8.00 (d, 1H, Ar–H), 7.83–7.89 (m, 3H, AR-H), 7.65–7.74 (m, 3H, Ar–H), 6.76 (s, 1H, Ar–H); the 13 C NMR (125 MHz, in DMSO- d 6 ): δ = 183.67 (CO), 181.99 (CO), 149.86,143.00, 139.68, 137.33, 135.58, 134.45, 133.45, 132.90, 130.68, 128.67, 127.70, 126.92, 125.94, 123.16, 122.83, 116.19, 105.49; IR (ATR): υ max /(cm –1 ) = 3226, 1670, 1633, 1604, 1592, 1571, 1531, 1490, 1463, 1432, 1380, 1344, 1332, 1294, 1261, 1243, 1162, 1126, 1092, 1068, 975; MALDI–TOF–MS: anal.…”
