Co@pyr/APTZCMNPs was synthesized, and some of its characteristic analyses, such as Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were investigated. The results indicated that this heterogeneous catalyst was an excellent and reusable system to synthesize of 14H</e...

A rapid, green and efficient method for the synthesis of 14-aryl-14H-dibenzo[a,j]xanthene derivatives through a one-pot condensation of 2-naphthol with various aromatic aldehydes in the presences of several acidic ionic liquids including [PSMIM]Cl, [BMIM]HSO4, [BMIM]Cl, [BMIM]Br, and [BMIM]BF4 as organocatalysts and task-specific acidic ionic liquids (AILs) under solvent-free conditions is desc...

Bifunctional acidic ionic liquids, having both H-imidazolium and -SO3H groups as cation moieties (H-BFAILs) and CF3SO3- as anion, were synthesized in high yields. These H-BFAILs showed significant hydrophilic properties, lower acidity and higher thermal stability relative to common ionic liquids, due to their unique structures. The (propyl or butyl-3-sulfonic) imidazolium trifluoromethane sulfo...

Chemical investigations of a microfungus Xylaria sp. isolated from the Australian rainforest tree Glochidion ferdinandi have afforded two new natural products, 2-hydroxy-6-methyl-8-methoxy-9-oxo-9H-xanthene-1-carboxylic acid (1) and 2-hydroxy-6-hydroxymethyl-8-methoxy-9-oxo-9H-xanthene-1-carboxylic acid (2). Compound 1 has previously been synthesised but only partially characterised. Methylatio...

Despite the preponderance of literature pertaining to photosensitisers based on the porphyrin system, many other chemical classes are available with similar or improved characteristics and potential for use in photodynamic medicine. Several of these classes are based on small, tricyclic, heteroaromatic chromophores, often originally developed from textile dyes or biological stains. The latter c...

The title mol-ecule, rac-6'-bromo-3'-di-ethyl-amino-3H-spiro-[2-benzo-furan-1,9'-xanthen]-3-one, C24H20BrNO3, was synthesized and the two enanti-omers which formed were separated. The structures of all three compounds were determined and compared with those of a variety of related derivatives. A notable feature is the fold of the xanthene portion which ranges from 15.15 (13)° in the racemate to...

Eosin B (EoB) and eosin Y (EoY), two xanthene dye derivatives with photosensitizing ability were prepared in high purity through an improved synthetic route. The dyes were grafted to a 6-monoamino-β-cyclodextrin scaffold under mild reaction conditions through a stable amide linkage using the coupling agent 4-(4,6-dimethoxy-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl)-4-methylmorpholinium chloride. The molecular conjuga...

Major advances in microscopy have revolutionized our view of the cell, allowing us to see what was previously not visible, now with unprecedented resolution. This would not be possible without an impressive portfolio of bright, modular, and photostable fluorescent dyes. Among these are xanthene-based dyes which includes fluorescein, a versatile FDA-approved reagent first synthesized more than a...

The title compound, C(31)H(20)N(2)O(5)·C(2)H(3)N, was synthesized by the reaction of fluorescein hydrazide and excess 2-hydr-oxy-1-naphthaldehyde in acetonitrile. The spirolactam ring is planar and is nearly at right angles to the two benzene rings of the xanthene system. The dihedral angle between the two benzene rings of the xanthene system is 9.92 (4)°. In the crystal structure, the mol-ecul...
