Geh. Elgemeie et al., NOVEL SYNTHESIS OF A NEW CLASS OF STRONGLY FLUORESCENT PHENANTHRIDINEANALOGS, Journal of chemical research. Synopses, (3), 1997, pp. 112-113
A novel synthesis of strongly fluorescent phenanthridine and phenanthr
ene analogues as a possible new class of laser dyes utilizing the reac
tions of tetralin-1-ylidenecyanothioacetamide or tetralin-1-ylidenemal
ononitrile with beta-(2-furyl)- and beta-(2-thienyl)-acrylonitriles is
reported.
