Abstract

Six novel functionalized spiropyran's derivatives of 2H-1,3-benzoxazinone series were synthesized by introducing the substituents with chelating ability into 2H-chromene part of the 8'-formyl-7'-hydroxy-3-methyl-4-oxo-3,4-dihydro-2H-1,3-benzoxazine-2-spiro-2'-[2H]-chromene (I) by condensation with 2-aminophenol, 2-amino-4-methylphenol, 2-amino-4-nitrophenol, 2-amino-1-methylbenzimidazole, 4-amino-4H-1,2,4-triazole, N-(4-aminophenyl)acetamide. (1)H NMR, UV/vis, IR spectroscopy combined with quantum-chemical calculations employing density functional theory (DFT) were used to study their structure. All substances, except 2-amino-4-nitrophenol derivative exist in solid state and in solution solely in closed spiroform, while the mentioned one undergoes partial spiropyran ring opening. In DMSO solution NMR spectra show ratio of 2:1 of closed and opened form, correspondingly.
