Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a dehydroabietic acid-based aggregation-induced emission (AIE) and excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) dual-property compound, a preparation method and application thereof, and belongs to the technical field of organic fluorescent molecule synthesis and functional materials. Background Art

[0002] Traditional organic fluorescent dyes often experience aggregation-induced quenching (ACQ) in the aggregated state, which limits their practical applications. Aggregation-induced emission (AIE) fundamentally solves this problem.

[0003] Excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) refers to the proton transfer process between adjacent proton donors and proton acceptors in a molecule due to the enhancement of hydrogen bonds when the molecule is excited by light. In the excited state, ESIPT molecules can achieve structural transformation through intramolecular proton transfer, forming a large Stokes shift, which leads to a significant change in the fluorescence wavelength, different luminescence states, and effectively avoid self-absorption.

[0004] Combining ESIPT with AIE properties provides new possibilities for the development of new luminescent materials. However, the types of fluorescent molecules with ESIPT and AIE effects are very limited, especially those based on disproportionate rosin, which have both ESIPT and AIE properties. There are only a few simple Schiff base compounds with limited structural diversity, and there are only a few known examples. The quantum yield in the solid state is low (<4%), and some are even as low as 0.3%. In addition, these compounds are of a single type, with a short emission wavelength and limited Stokes shift, and rarely show the synergistic effect between AIE and ESIPT.

[0005] Dehydroabietic acid is obtained by catalytic disproportionation and purification of rosin. It contains an aromatic ring in its skeleton. Based on the aromatic ring and the carboxylic acid group, a variety of fluorescent derivatives can be developed, which opens up a new way for the high-value utilization of rosin. However, its ACQ effect and short emission wavelength limit its application. To solve this problem, the present invention combines dehydroabietic acid derivatives with 2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)benzothiazole, and through the design of a specific structure, not only does it have a large Stokes shift, but it also achieves the expansion of dehydroabietic acid derivatives from high-energy blue light emission to low-energy orange light emission, and exhibits obvious synergistic effects between AIE and ESIPT. Summary of the invention

[0006] The invention provides a dehydroabietic acid-based aggregation-induced emission (AIE) and excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) dual-property compound, a preparation method and an application thereof.

On the one hand, in the biocompatible organic solvent DMSO and ethanol / water (v:v=3 / 7), the fluorescence quantum yield is 3.28 and 1.24 times that of the solid-state quantum yield, respectively. On the other hand, the Stokes shift can reach 280nm, which effectively avoids self-absorption and internal filtration effects, is conducive to fluorescence imaging, and can be used as an AIE probe for cell imaging; at the same time, it has the potential of invisible ink, can be used for fluorescent anti-counterfeiting, is long-lasting and stable, and effectively extends the fluorescent anti-counterfeiting period.

[0048]

[0049] The preparation process is as follows:

[0050] 1 mmol of 12-bromodehydroabietic acid methyl ester (DA) (Tan Guanni, et al. Synthesis and spectral properties of dehydroabietic acid triarylamine compounds containing naphthalene [J].

After deoxygenation for 15 minutes under nitrogen atmosphere, 1.44 mmol of sodium tert-butoxide (t-BuONa), 0.12 mmol of tri-tert-butylphosphine (P(t-Bu)3) and 0.03 mmol of palladium acetate (Pd(OAc)2) were added.

[0051] 1mmol 12-(phenyl)amino-dehydroabietic acid methyl ester (DDPA) and 1.2mmol p-bromoanisole were added to a three-necked flask, and 10mL of anhydrous o-xylene was added.

[0052] 1 mmol 12-[N, N-(4-methoxy)-phenyl]amino-dehydroabietic acid methyl ester (DTPA), 1 mmol NBS (N-bromosuccinimide), and 25 mL anhydrous acetonitrile were added to a round-bottom flask, and the mixture was reacted at 25°C in the dark for 24 h, and then rotary evaporated and purified by column chromatography (eluent, V 石油醚 :V 乙酸乙酯 =20:1), the solvent was removed by rotary evaporation and then placed in a vacuum drying oven at 65°C for 12 h to obtain a white solid 12-[N,N-(4-methoxy)-(4-bromophenyl)]amino-dehydroabietic acid methyl ester (DTPA-Br), which was stored in a desiccator for later use.

[0053] 1 mmol 12-[N,N-p-methoxy-4-bromophenyl]amino-dehydroabietic acid methyl ester (DTPA-Br) was added to a DMSO (15 mL) solution of 2 mmol bis(pinacolato)diboron, 0.06 mmol Pd(dppf)Cl2·CH2Cl2 and 4 mmol potassium acetate, and the mixture was stirred at 80°C for 24 h under nitrogen. The mixture was extracted with dichloromethane and water, and the organic phase was collected, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and purified by column chromatography (eluent, V 石油醚 :V 乙酸乙酯 =20:1), the solvent was removed by rotary evaporation, and the mixture was dried in vacuo to obtain a white solid 12-[N,N-p-methoxy-4-boronate phenyl]amino-dehydroabietic acid methyl ester (DTPA-Bpin) with a yield of 73.1%.

[0054] Dissolve 1 mmol 5-bromosalicylaldehyde and 1 mmol o-aminothiophenol in 5 mL water, add 0.04 mmol aminosulfonic acid, stir at room temperature for 1 h, filter and wash with water, and recrystallize the solid from water or a water-ethanol mixed solvent to obtain a yellow solid 2-(benzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)-4-bromophenol (HBT-Br). This step is a green synthesis method with a yield of 99.9%.

[0055] 1 mmol 12-[N,N-p-methoxy-4-boronate phenyl]amino-dehydroabietic acid methyl ester (DTPA-Bpin), 1.1 mmol 2-(benzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)-4-bromophenol (HBT-Br), and 1.2 mmol potassium carbonate (K2CO3) were dissolved in a mixed solution of 20 mL tetrahydrofuran and 5 mL water.

The quantum yields in different solvents were all at a concentration of 10 -6 Measured under the conditions of mol / L.

[0056] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the characterization data: 1 H NMR (500MHz, DMSO-d6) δ11.54(s,1H),8.34(s,1H),8.14(d,J=8.0Hz,1H),8.07(d,J=8.2Hz,1H),7.63(d,J=8.7Hz,1H),7.54(t,J=7.7Hz, 1H),7.46(dd,J=20.1,8.2Hz,3H),7.13(d,J=8.5Hz,1H),7.06(s,1H),7.00(d,J=6.9Hz,3H),6.89(d,J=9.0Hz,2H),6.78(d,J=8.7Hz,2H) ,3.73(s,3H),3.62(s,3H),3.04(p,J=6.8Hz,1H),2.91(dd,J=17.8,6.8Hz,1H),2.81(q,J=8.4,7.8Hz,1H),2.09(dd,J=24.8,12.1Hz,2H) ,1.86-1.75(m,1H),1.66(d,J=9.6Hz,2H),1.58-1.54(m,1H),1.33(s,1H),1.25(d,J=3.1Hz,2H),1.19(s,3H),1.13(s,3H),0.96(s,6H). 13C NMR (126MHz, DMSO-d6) δ177.93,164.74,155.07,154.83,151.42,148.57,147.65,145.60,143.56,141.01, 139.81,134.51,133.30,131.75,130.15,130.05,127.56,126.70,126.38,125.25,124.99,124.52,122.13 ,121.92,118.71,118.15,117.46,114.58,55.16,51.83,46.88,44.53,40.02,39.85,39.69,39.35,39.19, 39.02,37.57,36.47,36.11,29.20,26.80,24.80,23.38,23.29,21.03,17.83,16.21.HRMS(ESI):calc.for C 47 H 48 N2O4S,[M+H] + :737.3335; found,737.34094.

[0057] like Figure 4-5 As shown in the figure, the maximum absorption wavelength of the dual-characteristic compound DTPA-HBT with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) and excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) of dehydroabietic acid is around 320nm in different solvents, while the fluorescence emission spectrum varies greatly. The appearance of double or triple fluorescence peaks and large Stokes shift caused by proton transfer reflects the ESIPT characteristics of the molecule, with a maximum Stokes shift of 280nm. The short-wavelength emission near 410nm is the emission peak of the enol form, the long-wavelength emission near 580nm belongs to the fluorescence emission of the keto isomer, and the emission peak near 520nm is the intermediate state emission formed by the interaction between the molecule and the solvent.

[0058] like Figure 6-7 As shown in the figure, DTPA-HBT has a typical aggregation-induced emission enhancement effect, that is, as the water content increases, its fluorescence emission intensity increases. When the water content is less than 50%, the enol fluorescence emission at 415nm is dominant. When the water content is greater than 60%, the molecular aggregation leads to the restriction of molecular motion, and the ESIPT effect is activated, mainly with the keto fluorescence emission peak at 585nm, indicating that molecular aggregation is conducive to the proton transfer process. The stronger the keto fluorescence emission caused by the proton transfer process, the stronger the AIE characteristics. The change process of the entire spectral behavior reflects the obvious synergistic effect between the two characteristics of AIE and ESIPT.

[0059] like Figure 8 As shown in the figure, with the increase of water content, the change of aggregate size indicates that the aggregation state of DTPA-HBT has been changing.

[0060] like Fig. 9 As shown, the water content f w =70% Tyndall effect indicates that DTPA-HBT forms aggregates.

[0061] like Fig.10 As shown, after DTPA-HBT is excited, the molecular configuration is twisted.

[0062] like Fig.11 As shown, the proton transfer process is often accompanied by electron transition. The energy gap value of the molecule is related to the chemical reactivity and kinetic stability. The energy gap value of DTPA-HBT in the excited state is 2.39eV, which is smaller than the energy gap value of the ground state of 3.07eV, indicating that the molecule is more likely to undergo electron transition in the excited state, which is beneficial to the proton transfer process.

[0063] like Fig.12 As shown, the dihedral angle between planes 5 and 6 related to the intramolecular hydrogen bond decreases from 0.35° in the ground state to 0.31° in the excited state, indicating that the planarity between 5 and 6 is better in the excited state, which is more conducive to proton transfer and ESIPT characteristics.

[0064] like Fig.13 As shown in the figure, the molecular planarity parameter (MPP) and the deviation from the plane span (SDP) parameters are used to characterize the planarity of the molecule. The smaller the value, the better the planarity. The MPP and SDP values ​​in the ground state are both smaller than those in the excited state, indicating that the configuration in the excited state is more twisted. The twisted spatial configuration inhibits the tight π-π stacking and non-radiative transition in the aggregated state, and is also more conducive to the AIE characteristics.

[0065] like Fig.14 As shown, the four-level energy diagram of the DTPA-HBT molecule reveals the mechanism of tautomerism between the enol form and the keto form.

[0066] Application Example 1

[0067] Take 7.36 mg of DTPA-HBT and place it in a 10 ml volumetric flask. Dilute it with dichloromethane to a concentration of 1×10 -3 mol / L stock solution; use a pipette to transfer 1000 μL of the stock solution into a 10 ml volumetric flask, and then use dichloromethane to make up to 10 ml, to obtain a concentration of 1×10 -4ml / L of test solution. Take the above test solution with a capillary sample tube of 2mm diameter, write the letter "HBT" on the practice banknote without fluorescent background, and take pictures of the practice banknote under natural light, 365nm ultraviolet irradiation, 365nm ultraviolet irradiation for 30min, and 365nm ultraviolet irradiation after being placed in natural environment for 7 days. The results are as follows Fig.15 As shown, the mark is not visible in daylight ( Fig.15 b), but visible under 365nm ultraviolet light ( Fig.15 d), indicating that the compound can be used as invisible fluorescent ink; in addition, whether it is naturally placed for 7 days and then irradiated or continuously irradiated for 30 minutes, the written fluorescent mark can still be observed ( Fig.15 ef), after 30 days in natural environment, the fluorescence intensity observed was no different from that on the 7th day when irradiated with 365nm ultraviolet light. In addition, after 72 days in natural environment, obvious fluorescence was still observed when irradiated with 365nm ultraviolet light ( Fig.16 ), indicating that DTPA-HBT has good stability. In summary, DTPA-HBT can be used as invisible ink for fluorescent anti-counterfeiting.
