New green fluorescent protein (GFP) chromophore analogues, namely 4-(diarylmethylene)imidazolinones (DAINs), were readily synthesized under weakly acidic conditions using a novel condensation reaction between methyl imidate (or thioimidate) and ethyl N-(diarylmethylene)glycinate. DAINs showed notable fluorescence properties. Although they were nearly non-fluorescent in the solution, visible emissions were detected in most of their frozen solution states and crystalline powder states. Therefore, control of the molecular motions significantly affected emissions by DAINs. Comparison of the fluorescence properties of DAIN 5a with those of the corresponding GFP-chromophore analogues 8 revealed that 5a possessed superior solid-state fluorescence properties.

Aldehydes react with hydrazoic acid and alcohols in the presence of catalytic amounts of TiCl4 to produce α-azido ethers.The conversion of simple ketones to methyl α-azido alkyl ethers can be accomplished by means of hydrazoic acid and methyl orthoformate.Both gas-phase thermolysis and photolysis of representative α-azido ethers were studied and shown to produce mainly imino ethers.In the thermolysis, migratory preference decreases in the series H >> CH3 > Ph >> OR.
