ANTHRACENE DERIVATIVES OF BENZOQUINOLINE. SYNTHESIS, SPECTRA, AND LUMINESCENCE

Article abstract of DOI:10.1007/BF00515228

By condensation of 9-anthracene with methyl ketones under conditions of acid catalysis, 1-R-3-(9-anthryl)benzoquinolines have been obtained.The byproducts of the reaction have been identified: 1-R-3-(9-anthryl)-2-propen-1-ones and N-<1-(p-aminophenyl)-3-(9-anthryl)-2-propen-1-ylidene>-2-naphthylamines.The spectral and luminescence properties of these compounds have been examined critically.
