3-[4-(2-Phenylethyl)piperazin-1-yl]-7H-benzo[de]anthracen-7-one

The present work describes the synthesis of the new benzanthrone dye-3-[4-(2-phenylethyl)piperazin-1-yl]-7H-benzo[de]anthracen-7-one by bromine atom nucleophilic substitution reaction. The structure of the obtained benzanthrone derivative is characterized by NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and X-ray diffraction analysis. The photophysical properties of the target compound are investigated by means of UV-Vis and fluorescence spectroscopy in various organic solvents.
