Av. Pinto et al., Fluorescent symmetric phenazines from the reactions of beta-lapachone and nor-beta-lapachone with ammoniating agents, J CHEM R-S, (11), 1999, pp. 650-651A
The reactions of beta-lapachone 1 and nor-beta-lapachone 4 with several amm
oniating agents give rise to symmetric phenazines which exhibit high, solve
nt dependent, fluorescence quantum yields.
