Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of polar environment detection technology, specifically relating to a fluorescent probe based on polypyridine-modified phenazine derivatives, its synthesis method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] From both the perspective of everyday chemical reactions and actual production, environmental polarity is one of the most important environmental parameters. For example, organic solvents are indispensable in the materials, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries, participating in the synthesis, purification, and analysis of compounds and materials; even trace amounts of water in organic solvents can lead to the quenching of reaction intermediates; water contamination of fuel can affect machine performance, causing damage and malfunctions; different types of gasoline have different compositions, resulting in varying anti-knock properties. Therefore, accurately detecting environmental polarity plays a crucial role in chemical reactions, everyday applications, and industrial production.
[0003] Currently, although various detection methods such as electrochemical analysis, chromatographic analysis, and spectroscopic analysis have been developed for the detection of polar environments, ideal methods that can accurately detect polar fluctuations are still rare. Among the many methods for detecting polar environments, fluorescence sensors based on organic fluorescent small molecules are widely used due to their advantages such as good selectivity, high sensitivity, real-time online detection, and visualization capabilities.
[0004] However, most existing fluorescent molecules can only detect one type of change, and ensuring compatibility and diversity of various response behaviors remains a significant challenge. Therefore, it is particularly important to develop a fluorescent probe with strong universality to detect fluctuations in multiple polar environments. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a fluorescent probe based on a polypyridine-modified phenazine derivative. This fluorescent probe has a fast response speed, high visualization, and wide testing range, and can be widely used in the detection of fluctuations in various polar environments.
[0006] The structural formula of the phenazine derivative fluorescent probe based on polypyridine modification provided by this invention is as follows:
[0007]
[0008] The method for synthesizing the polypyridine-modified phenazine derivative fluorescent probe of the present invention includes the following steps:
[0009] Step 1: Under a nitrogen atmosphere, N,N-disubstituted-dihydrodibenzo[a,c]phenazine and N-bromosuccinimide were added to tetrahydrofuran and reacted with stirring at 35–45 °C for 24–48 h. After separation and purification, the dibromo-modified N,N-disubstituted-dihydrodibenzo[a,c]phenazine derivative shown in Formula II was obtained. The reaction equation is shown below:
[0010]
[0011] Step 2: Under a nitrogen atmosphere, the dibromo-modified N,N-disubstituted-dihydrodibenzo[a,c]phenazine derivative, 4-([2,2':6',2”-terpyridin-4'-yl)phenylboronic acid, potassium carbonate, and tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium were added to a mixed solvent of tetrahydrofuran and water. The mixture was stirred at 75–85 °C for 24–48 h, and then purified to obtain the fluorescent probe based on polypyridine-modified phenazine derivatives as shown in Formula I. The reaction equation is shown below:
[0012]
[0013] In step 1 above, the preferred molar ratio of N,N-disubstituted-dihydrodibenzo[a,c]phenazine to N-bromosuccinimide is 1:2 to 3.
[0014] In step 2 above, the preferred molar ratio of the dibromo-modified N,N-disubstituted-dihydrodibenzo[a,c]phenazine derivative, 4-([2,2':6',2”-terpyridin-4'-yl)phenylboronic acid, potassium carbonate, and tetra(triphenylphosphine)palladium is 1:2~3:3~5:0.2~0.3.
[0015] Furthermore, in step 2 above, the volume ratio of tetrahydrofuran to water in the mixed solvent is 1 to 3:1.
[0016] The present invention provides a fluorescent probe based on polypyridine-modified phenazine derivatives that can be used to distinguish and detect different organic solvents, wherein the organic solvents are any one or more of n-hexane, toluene, 1,4-dioxane, tetrahydrofuran, methanol, ethylene glycol, and dimethyl sulfoxide.
[0017] The present invention, based on a polypyridine-modified phenazine derivative fluorescent probe, can also be used to detect trace amounts of water in 1,4-dioxane.
[0018] The present invention utilizes a phenazine derivative fluorescent probe modified with polypyridine to further distinguish and detect different types of gasoline.
[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:
[0020] 1. The fluorescent probe of this invention uses N,N′-disubstituted-dihydrodibenzo[a,c]phenazine with tunable multiple fluorescence as one of its fluorescent groups and backbones, and modifies both ends of it with 4-([2,2':6',2”-terpyridine]-4'-yl)phenyl containing multiple pyridine groups to increase its water solubility and environmental sensitivity, thus preparing a polypyridine-modified phenazine derivative with polar sensitivity. The fluorescent group and structure introduced by this derivative endow the probe molecule with the possibility of detecting multiple polar environments. It has both polar sensitivity and good fluorescence visual effect, and can respond to and distinguish changes in the polarity of multiple environments. It has the advantages of good chemical stability, fast response speed, high visualization degree, and the ability to detect fluctuations in multiple polar environments.
[0021] 2. The synthesis method of the fluorescent probe of this invention is simple to operate, requires minimal equipment, and is suitable for large-scale production. The fluorescent probe of this invention can be used to detect different organic solvents, trace or ultra-trace amounts of water within organic solvents, and different types of gasoline, providing excellent visualization.

[0030] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. These descriptions are intended to explain the invention and not to limit it.
[0031] Example 1
[0032] Step 1:
[0033] Under a nitrogen atmosphere, 100 mg (0.23 mmol) of N,N-disubstituted-dihydrodibenzo[a,c]phenazine and 113 mg (0.46 mmol) of N-bromosuccinimide were weighed and added to a 50 mL single-necked flask. 10 mL of tetrahydrofuran was added to dissolve the mixture completely. The mixture was then stirred at 40 °C for 36 h to obtain a dark brown reaction solution. After cooling the reaction solution to room temperature, tetrahydrofuran was removed by vacuum distillation to obtain a dark brown oily compound. The oily compound was extracted with water and dichloromethane. The resulting brownish-black organic phase was dried over anhydrous Na₂SO₄ for 2 h, and dichloromethane was removed by vacuum distillation. Finally, the compound was purified by column chromatography on a silica column using a 5:1 volume ratio of dichloromethane to n-hexane as the eluent to obtain the dibromo-modified N,N-disubstituted-dihydrodibenzo[a,c]phenazine derivative of formula II. The reaction equation is as follows:
[0034]
[0035] Step 2: Under a nitrogen atmosphere, 50 mg (0.085 mmol) of dibromo-modified N,N-disubstituted-dihydrodibenzo[a,c]phenazine derivative, 75 mg (0.211 mmol) of 4-([2,2':6',2”-terpyridin-4'-yl)phenylboronic acid, 27 mg (0.338 mmol) of potassium carbonate, and 23 mg (0.021 mmol) of tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium were added to 12 mL of a mixed solvent of tetrahydrofuran and water in a volume ratio of 2:1. The mixture was stirred at 80 °C. The reaction was stirred for 48 h. After the reaction was complete, tetrahydrofuran was removed under reduced pressure. Then, the organic phase was extracted with saturated sodium bicarbonate aqueous solution and dichloromethane. The extracted organic phase was dried with anhydrous Na2SO4 for 2 h, and dichloromethane was removed by distillation under reduced pressure. Then, column chromatography was performed on an alumina column using a mixed solvent of n-hexane and ethyl acetate in a volume ratio of 1:5 as the eluent. The crude product was recrystallized from methanol and dichloromethane to obtain the phenazine derivative fluorescent probe based on polypyridine modified with formula I. The reaction equation is as follows:
