Jj. Chen et Ij. Wang, SYNTHESIS AND COLOR ASSESSMENT OF SOME 3-CYANO-4-PYRENYL-6-SUBSTITUTED-2-PYRIDONE DERIVATIVES, Dyes and pigments, 29(4), 1995, pp. 305-313
A series of 3-cyano-4-pyrenyl-6-substituted-2-pyridone derivatives was
prepared by the cyclization of ethyl 2-cyano-3-pyrenyl acrylate with
aryl methyl ketones in the presence of ammonium acetate. The structure
s of the compounds were confirmed by spectral and element analysis. Th
e fluorescence and colour parameters of the 3-cyano-4-pyrenyl-6-substi
tuted-2-pyridones were also investigated.
