Time-resolved fluoroimmunoassays that make use of lanthanide chelates as labels require the addition of an enhancement solution to elicit the formation of a fluorescent lanthanide complex. All solutions previously described are based on 2-naphthoyltrifluoroacetone (NTA), a beta-diketone. Currently, this compound is not commercially available. We report here the properties and performance of an ...

A straightforward synthesis toward two conjugated alternating copolymers consisting of 2,7-linked carbazole donor (2,7-Cz) and ladderized pentaphenylene with diketone bridge (LPPK) acceptor chromophores is reported: the copolymers differ by the repeat unit ratio between the 2,7-Cz and LPPK units within the backbone; energy and charge transfer properties and supramolecular organizations of donor...

The spectra ofthe diketone compounds biacetyl, acetylacetone, acetonylacetone, 1,2cyclohexanedione, and 1,4-cyclohexanedione have been investigated by the technique oflowenergy variable-angle electron energy-loss spectroscopy. With this method low-lying, spinforbidden transitions have been observed. The energy difference between the lowest spin-allowed and spin-forbidden n-+ 1r* excitations in ...

An efficient and eco-friendly protocol for the synthesis of quinoxaline derivatives employing a condensation reaction between 1,2-diketone and 1,2-diaminobenzene derivative has been developed. The reaction of  1,2-diketone and 1,2-diaminobenzene derivative was carried out in water at room temperature using 10 mol% of task-specific dicationic ionic liquid as a catalyst. The results show that...

benzazolo [2,1-b]quinazolinones and triazolo[2,1-b]quinazolinones were synthesized in high yields by the condensation reaction of an aldehyde and a cyclic  β-diketone with 2 - aminobenzimidazole, 2 - aminobenzothiazole or 1, 2, 4 - triazole derivatives in 1 - butyl - 3 -methylimidazolium bromide as an ionic liquid under classic heating conditions within 5-60 minutes.

Both alkylarylalkynes and diarylalkynes 1 are converted into the α-diketones 2 in good yield by the use of mercuric salts, e.g., mercuric nitrate hydrate or mercuric triflate, in the presence of water. Other mercuric salts, e.g., sulfate, chloride, acetate, or trifluoroacetate, do not provide the diketone product. A possible mechanism is proposed.
