Abstract

Abstract A practical synthesis of Np-anisyl-N-methyl-amino-3-(9-anthryl)-propane from 9- anthraldehyde is described. All the intermediates in this simple five step sequence are crystalline and simple re-crystallisation after each step allows the preparation of this exciplex fluorescence 'thermometer'molecule on a preparative scale without resort to chromatography.
