New derivatives of 3-[2-(phenyl)benzoxazol-5-yl]alanine (Box-Ala) substitut
ed at position 2' and 4' with OH, OMe, NMe2 groups were prepared. Fluoresce
nce properties (spectra, quantum yields) of new compounds were determined a
nd compared with parent molecules without amino acid moiety. It was establi
shed that fluorescence properties of known benzoxazoles and new ones are si
milar. In the case of 3-[2-(2'-hydroxyphenyl)benzoxazol-5-yl]alanine ((o-OH
)Box-Ala), presence of many different tautomeric forms in the ground state
were found depending on solvent used. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All ri
