Vb. Bojinov et Tn. Konstantinova, A NEW METHOD FOR THE SYNTHESIS OF 3-ALKOXYBENZANTHRONES AS LUMINOPHORE DYES FOR POLYMERS, Dyes and pigments, 32(3), 1996, pp. 151-157
A new method for the synthesis of 3-alkoxybenzanthrones is reported. T
he appropriate phase transfer catalysis conditions (a type of two-phas
e system, solvent, solid phase, catalyst) were selected. Three 3-alkox
ybenzanthrones were synthesized in high yields and purity under these
conditions. Their absorption and fluorescent spectra were determined a
nd the energy of the first excited state calculated. The utility of th
e dyes for the mass-colouration of polystyrene was also demonstrated.
