Abstract A method for the synthesis of N-aryl-substituted 4-amino-and 4- acetylaminonaphthalimide derivatives with mono-and dialkoxy groups or a 15-crown-5 moiety in the N-aryl substituent is described. The introduction of electron-donating alkoxy groups into the benzene ring of the N-aryl fragment results in fluorescence quenching of the naphthalimide chromophore, which is most pronounced in the spectra of N-acetyl ...
