Abstract:
A series of four donor aryl alkynyl substituted thiazole derivatives 3a-d and three similar aryl donor-acceptor systems 6a-c have been synthesized. All compounds bear different electron-donating groups in the 5-position of the thiazole core. The influence of both electron donor strength and the additional phenylethynyl unit on photophysical properties, i.e. UV/Vis absorption, fluorescence emission and fluorescence lifetime, has been evaluated. Additionally, theoretical calculations have been performed at the CAM-B3LYP/6-31+G(d,p) level and good agreement with the experimental data has been achieved. The new derivatives synthesized via palladium catalyzed cross coupling are characterised by moderately strong emission between 474 and 538 nm (ΦF = 0.35-0.39) and Stokes' shifts ranging from 0.54 to 0.79 eV (4392-6351 cm(-1)). The smaller chromophores of type 6 exhibit modest to high fluorescence emission (ΦF = 0.45-0.76) between 470 and 529 nm and their Stokes' shifts range from 0.59 to 0.65 eV (4765-5251 cm(-1)).

02:27Preparation of Alkynes: Alkylation Reaction
Alkylation of terminal alkynes with primary alkyl halides in the presence of a strong base like sodium amide is one of the common methods for the synthesis of longer carbon-chain alkynes. For example, treatment of 1-propyne with sodium amide followed by reaction with ethyl bromide yields 2-pentyne.
02:34Preparation of Alkynes: Dehydrohalogenation
Alkynes can be prepared by dehydrohalogenation of vicinal or geminal dihalides in the presence of a strong base like sodium amide in liquid ammonia. The reaction proceeds with the loss of two equivalents of hydrogen halide (HX) via two successive E2 elimination reactions.

The reaction begins with the nucleophilic addition between a phosphorus ylide and the carbonyl compound. Due to its carbanionic character, phosphorus ylide acts as a strong nucleophile and attacks the electrophilic carbonyl group. This generates a charge-separated dipolar intermediate called betaine. The negatively charged oxygen atom and...
02:38Electrophilic Addition to Alkynes: Halogenation
Halogenation is another class of electrophilic addition reactions where a halogen molecule gets added across a π bond. In alkynes, the presence of two π bonds allows for the addition of two equivalents of halogens (bromine or chlorine). The addition of the first halogen molecule forms a trans-dihaloalkene as the major product and the cis isomer as the minor product. Subsequent addition of the second equivalent yields the tetrahalide.
