Synthesis of bis(2-hydroxynaphthamide) derivatives behaving as a fluorophore for anions
Bis(2-hydroxynaphthamide) derivatives have been synthesized via tandem Claisen rearrangement in high yields. These compounds are found to make complexes with anions and emit luminescence, serving as anion sensing fluorophores.
