Abstract
A set of new oxazol-5-one fluorophores incorporating ethylene glycol chains terminated with an aldehyde unit has been synthesized and characterized structurally. Two pairs of compounds can be distinguished according to the substitution on the oxazol-5-one moiety: one pair bears a tolyl unit and the other a nitrophenyl unit. The difference within the pairs is the length of the ethylene glycol chain. The evaluation of absorption and emission properties of the new oxazol-5-one derivatives was carried out in seven different solvents of varying polarity, which showed intense absorption maxima at 384–418nm and emission maxima at 430–607nm, respectively. The solvatofluorism study of 3a and 3c revealed that their emission wavelengths are very sensitive to solvent polarity and are red shifted in polar solvents. 3a and 3c fluorophores exhibited high Stokes shift values between 4158 and 7921cm−1.
