Electro-organic synthesis and characterization of new dihydroxybenzene dinitrile derivatives with fluorescent properties.

Novel fluorescent molecules were synthesized by designing an environmentally friendly method involving the bulk electrolysis technique. This electrochemical treatment process helps protect the environment by minimizing the toxic waste component of effluent. The electrochemical oxidation of 3,6-dihydroxybenzene-1,2-dinitrile (DBD) in the presence of benzenesulfinic acids was studied in an aqueous solution (H(2)O : AN, 90 : 10), which included an acetate buffer (pH=5.0). This research utilized a variety of experimental techniques, including cyclic voltammetry, controlled-potential electrolysis as well as spectroscopic identification of compounds produced as products. In addition, our fluorescent studies offered results in line with existing findings. At the wavelength of 205 nm, DBD and compound (6) were excited and their fluorescent emissions were monitored.

A green method for the electroorganic synthesis of new 1,3-Indandione derivatives.

This is an environmentally friendly method in the field of electroorganic reactions under controlled potential electrolysis, without toxic reagents at a carbon electrode in an undivided cell which involves the (EC) mechanism reaction and comprises two steps alternatively; (i) electrochemical oxidation and (ii) chemical reaction. In particular, the electrochemical oxidation of 4-tert-butylcatechol, 4-methylcatechol and 2,3-dihydroxybenzoic acid in the presence of 2-phenyl-1,3-indandione has been studied in a water-acetonitrile (90 : 10) mixture. The research includes the use of a variety of experimental techniques, such as cyclic voltammetry, controlled-potential electrolysis, and spectroscopic identification of products (FT-IR, (1)H-NMR, and MS spectrometry).
