Application

4-Nitro-1,8-naphthalic anhydride can be used:
  • As a precursor to synthesize N-phenyl-amino-1,8-naphthalimide based fluorescent chemosensor to detect nitro-antibiotics at ppb level.
  • As a building block to synthesize shape memory polymers due to its ability to undergo Diels-Alder reaction
  • As a fluorochrome substrate for nitrogen reductase for noninvasive hypoxia imaging in cancer detection.
  • As a precursor to synthesize amphiphilic naphthalimide dyes with good color brilliancy.

General description

4-Nitro-1,8-naphthalic anhydride is a yellow crystalline nitrocompound widely used in the field of dye synthesis and cellular imaging.

In this study, a novel 6-(allylamino)-2-(2-(dimethylamino)ethyl)-1H-benzo[de]isoquinoline-1,3(2H)-dione (NI3) was synthesized and characterized. Its copolymer with styrene was also obtained. The photophysical characteristics of NI3 were investigated in organic solvents and the results were compared with those of its structural analogue, 2-allyl-6-((2-(dimethylamino)ethyl)amino)-1H-benzo[de]isoquinoline-1,3(2H)-dione

A lysosome-targeting fluorescent off-on probe has been developed by one-step synthesis for detecting lysosomal nitroreductase and hypoxia. The probe is constructed by incorporating morpholine (a lysosome-targeting unit) into 4-nitro-1,8-naphthalimide (as a fluorochrome and specific substrate for nitroreductase), and the detection
