Spirocycles are important structural motifs, found in natural and pharmaceutical compounds, which have attracted considerable interest in modern drug discovery research. Herein, we describe the development of a visible light‐mediated ipso‐cyclization of amino acid derivatives with N‐(2‐phenyl)benzoyl groups, allowing easy access to a variety of spirocyclohexadienes. The addition of water was found to be beneficial in promoting the reaction progress. Investigation of the substrate scope revealed that incorporating an electron‐donating moiety at the 3′‐position of the biphenyl group resulted in a more favorable outcome for spirocycle formation.
A series of novel 2‐(2‐pyridyl)quinazoline luminophores containing a donor aryl fragment at position 4 and methyl or methoxy groups at benzene ring has been synthesized by efficient three‐step route. The linear optical properties have been studied by UV/Vis absorption and photoluminescence spectra in two solvents. We revealed that introduction of additional methyl group or the replacement of methyl substituents with methoxy ones lead to sequentially shift of absorption and emission maximum to blue region. 9H‐Carbazol‐9‐yl‐containing derivative is characterized by hypsochromically shifted absorption band compared to its NEt2 and NPh2 counterparts. Unlike 9H‐carbazol‐9‐yl‐derivative, Et2N‐ and Ph2N‐bearing quinazolines demonstrate considerable decrease in quantum yield values when going from toluene to MeCN. Solvatochromic properties have been explored, the pronounced bathochromic shift was observed in fluorescence spectra with the increase of solvents polarity. Moreover, the compounds show significant shift of emission band with the increase of water fraction in DMSO/H2O mixture. Two‐photon optical properties have been also studied, the two‐photon absorption cross‐sections in MeCN and toluene reached 120 GM and 210 GM, respectively. The presence of additional methyl group has little impact on δTPA value, while introduction of methoxy substituents dramatically decreases TPA cross sections. Additionally, a quantum‐chemical calculations of synthesized compounds were performed to support the experimental data.
