Title: New solvatochromic merocyanine dyes based on Barbituric acid and Meldrum's acid
Abstract: Two new types of solvatochromic merocyanine dyes derived from either Meldrum's acid or Barbituric acid have been synthesized by the condensation of 4-((2-hydro xyethyl)(methyl)amino) benzaldehyde with 5-(2,6-dimethyl-4H-pyran-4-ylidene) Meldrum's acid and 5-(2,6-dimethyl-4H-pyran-4-ylidene) Barbituric acid, respectively. The solvatochromic responses of the merocyanine dyes in 22 solvents of widely different polarities were measured; positive solvatochromism, with a large absorption bathochromic shift, was observed on moving from xylene to DMSO, corresponding to their maximum fluorescence emission with a large bathochromic shift. The dyes have the potential for the development of efficient probes for the detection of volatile organic compounds.
