A series of alkyl-functional naphthoxazine resins having various alkyl chain lengths from C1 to C18 are synthesized with a high yield and high purity by the reactions of 1,5-dihydroxynaphthalene, formaldehyde, and aliphatic amines. The proposed chemical structures of the naphthoxazines are confirmed by high-resolution mass spectrometry, H nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, Fourier transfo...

Optical switch probes undergo rapid and reversible transitions between two distinct states, one of which may fluoresce. This class of probe is used in various super-resolution imaging techniques and in the high-contrast imaging technique of optical lock-in detection (OLID) microscopy. Here, we introduce optimized optical switches for studies in living cells under standard conditions of cell cul...

The aim of doing this research is a one-pot three-component synthesis of 1-aminoalkyl-2- naphthol and naphthoxazine derivatives using the condensation of β-naphthol with various aldehydes and amines in the presence of ionic liquid {[(secondary butyl) methyl] imidazolium bromide} {[sec-bmim]+ Br-, as an efficient catalyst and solvent. The catalyst was prepared according...

Cyclization of hydrazones derived from 2-acetyl-1-naphthol and 1-acetyl-2-naphthol with triphosgene gave naphtho[1,2-e]-1,3-oxazines, naphtho[2,1-e]-1,3-oxazines or their spiro dimers depending on the molar ratio of triphosgene used for the cyclization.
