SOLID-STATE FLUORESCENT BENZOXAZOLE: SYNTHESIS, PHOTOPHYSICAL AND DFT STUDY

Abstract

Solid-state fluorescent benzoxazole was synthesized using 5-amino resacetophenone and 2-hydroxy naphthaldehyde using glycerol as a green solvent. Boranil derivative of benzoxazole was also synthesized using BF3 etherate. Compounds are characterized by using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and photophysical properties were studied in different polarity solvents. Characteristic absorption patterns in both compounds are studied and supported by density functional calculations.
