Abstract
Abstract N-Aminonaphthalimide (4a) and N-amino-5-nitronaphthalimide (4b) prepared from acenaphthene (1a) and 5-nitroacenaphthene (1b) by oxidation, cyclization with acetic anhydride and subsequent treatment with hydrazine sulphate were reacted with a variety ofcarboxylic acid amides such as formamide, acetamide, benzamide, cinnamic amide, coumarin-3-carboxamide and urea using zinc chloride in ethanediol at 150°C to give the 10-substituted and 6-nitro-10-substituted-7H-benzo[de]-s-triazolo[5,1-a]-isoquinolin-7-ones (6a–6f and 6b–6m), respectively. Acetylation of the 10-amino derivative 6f and reductive acetylation of the 6-nitro-10-substituted derivatives 6h–6m gave the 10-acetamido, 6-acetamido-, 6-acetamido-10-methyl, 6-acetamido-10-phenyl, 6-acetamido-10-(2-styryl), 6-acetamido-10-(coumarin-3-yl) and 6,10-bisacetamido derivatives (6g, 7a–7f), respectively. The fluorescent properties of the compounds 6a–6e and 7a–7f were studied. Compounds 6a, 6b and 7e were applied as fluorescent whiteners on polyester fibres and gave satisfactory results.
