Abstract
New carboxyl-containing o-aminophenols and phenoxazines were synthesized by condensation of 3,5-di-(tert.-butyl)-quinone with p-aminobenzoic and anthranilic acids. Oxidative transformations of the o-aminophenols and intermediate o-iminoquinones occur with the formation of the ESR detected phenoxazinyl radicals, which furthermore transform to phenoxazines or the dimeric products emerged through the radical attack at the C1 carbon of a formed phenoxazine. Molecular structure of the dimer obtained by oxidation of methyl ester of 4-[3,5-di-(tert.-butyl)-1-(2′-hydroxyphenyl)amino]benzoic acid was X-ray determined. Reaction of 4-[3,5-di-(tert.-butyl)-1-(2′-hydroxyphenyl)amino]benzoic acid with thionyl chloride gives rise to the formation of a derivative of 2-oxido-3H-benzo[d,j][1,2,3]oxathiazol system, the structure of which was established using X-ray crystallography. Solutions of methyl-6,8-di-(tert.-butyl)-10H-phenoxazine-3-carboxylate solvents display intense fluorescence covering a broad spectral region in the range of 400–600 nm.
