A new method for the synthesis of 4-allyloxy-1,8-naphthalimide derivatives
(fluorescent brighteners) using phase transfer catalysis is reported. Four,
4-allyloxy-1,8-naphthalimide fluorescent brighteners were synthesized in g
ood yield and their absorption and fluorescent spectra were determined. The
suitability of the monomeric fluorescent brighteners for copolymerization
with styrene was also demonstrated. The content of the chemically bound flu
orescent brightener in the polymer chain was estimated. (C) 2001 Elsevier S
