Abstract:
Two novel stilbene derivatives containing 1,3,4-oxadiazole moiety were synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, (1)H NMR, MS. The photophysical processes of the title compounds were investigated by UV-vis absorption and fluorescence emission spectra in different solutions. The fluorescence quantum yield (Phi) of 1a and 1b in THF is 0.65 and 0.69, respectively. The influence of the solution on the fluorescence intensities was also discussed. Under ultraviolet light excitation, the two compounds exhibit strong blue fluorescence emission. They may serve as potential applications in organic electroluminescent materials.

Preparation of Epoxides
Epoxides result from alkene oxidation, which can be achieved by a) air, b) peroxy acids, c) hypochlorous acids, and d) halohydrin cyclization.
Epoxidation with Peroxy Acids
Epoxidation of alkenes via oxidation with peroxy acids involves the conversion of a carbon–carbon double bond to an epoxide using the oxidizing agent meta-chloroperoxybenzoic acid, commonly known as MCPBA. Since the O–O bond of peroxy acids is very weak, the addition of electrophilic oxygen of peroxy acids to...
