An oxidative cyclization reaction transforms nonemissive azoanilines into highly fluorescent benzotriazoles. We have found that introduction of multiple electron-donating amino groups onto a simple o-(phenylazo)aniline platform dramatically accelerates its conversion to the emissive polycyclic product. Notably, this chemistry can be effected by μM-level concentrations of copper(II) ion in water (pH = 6-8) at room temperature to elicit >80-fold enhancement in the green emission at λem = 530 nm. Comparative kinetic and electrochemical studies on a series of structural analogues have established that the accelerated reaction rates correlate directly with a systematic cathodic shift in the oxidation onset potential of the azo precursors. In addition, single-crystal X-ray crystallographic analysis on the most reactive derivative revealed the presence of a five-membered ring intramolecular hydrogen-bonding network. An enhanced contribution of the quinoid-type resonance in such conformation apparently facilitates the mechanistically required proton transfer step, which, in conjunction with electron transfer at lower oxidation potential, contributes to a rapid cyclization reaction triggered by copper(II) ion in water.
