N′-(3-Bromo-7-oxo-7H-benzo[de]anthracen-9-yl)-N,N-dimethylimidoformamide

Abstract

We report a synthesis of 3-bromo-9-N′-(N,N-dimethylformamidino)benzanthrone in good yield by a condensation reaction of 3-bromo-9-aminobenzanthrone with dimethylformamide in the presence of phosphorous oxychloride. The structure of the synthesized amidine was characterized by FTIR-ATR, NMR experiments, and elemental analysis. The title compound was analyzed by UV-Vis and fluorescence spectroscopy in various organic solvents.
