Synthesis of amphiphilic thiatrimethinecyanines

Preparation conditions were optimized for 2-methyl-5-chlorobenzothiazolium quaternary salts with long-chain N-alkyl substituents (C12H 25, C15H31, C18H37). They were used in the synthesis of thiatrimethinecyanines conteining in the meso-position phenyl, p-chlorophenyl, or p-fluorophenyl groups.

Synthesis of 2,2′-quinocyanines with long N-alkyl substituents

2,2′-Quinocyanines with long alkyl substituents on one or both nitrogen atoms have been synthesized. 1H NMR spectroscopy has been used to study the processes occurring during the alkylation of the starting quinoline bases.
