Three series of fluorescent phenanthroimidazoles bearing heterocyclic spacers were synthesized in moderate to excellent yields and evaluated as optical chemosensors for ions as well as two-photon absorbing chromophores. Interaction of compounds 5-7 with anions and cations in acetonitrile and acetonitrile/H2O (95:5) showed them to be selective receptors for several anions (AcO-, CN- and F-) and cations (Fe3+, Cu2+ and Pd2+), with compound 7a being the most sensitive receptor for Fe3+ and Cu2+. On the other hand, compounds 5a, 7b and 7c were the most sensitive receptors for AcO-, CN- and F-. The binding stoichiometry between the receptors and the anions and cations was found to be 1:2 (ligand to anion/metal cation). The binding process was also followed by 1H NMR titrations. The evaluation of the TPA properties of chosen phenanthroimidazoles 7a-c by the two-photon induced fluorescence method revealed that compound 7c, which contains a bithienyl spacer, exhibited the highest TPA cross-section (σ2) value.

The low-melting mixture urea-ZnCl 2 was evaluated as a novel reaction medium for the synthesis of imidazoles. The reaction between a dicarbonyl compound, ammonium acetate, and an aromatic aldehyde is efficiently catalyzed by the eutectic solvent, yielding a wide variety of triaryl-1 H -imidazoles or 2-aryl-1 H -phenanthro[9,10- d ]imidazoles in good to excellent yields. In addition, the eutectic solvent was reused in five cycles without loss of its catalytic activity. This protocol was further explored for the synthesis of the drug trifenagrel, giving an excellent yield.

Citrate trisulfonic acid (CTSA), as a novel recyclable and eco-benign organocatalyst, was employed for the efficient and one-pot synthesis of trisubstituted imidazoles and tetrasubstituted imidazoles using aldehydes, ammonium acetate or aniline, and benzoin, benzyl, or 9,10-phenanthrenequinone under solvent-free conditions providing high to excellent yields. CTSA is easily prepared via the reaction of trisodium citrate and chlorosulfonic acid in high purity. Compared to the conventional procedures, the present method offers several advantages, including high yields, easy work-up, short reaction time, reusability of the catalyst, and simple purification of the products.
