Synthesis of Pyrrolo[3,4-c]pyridine Derivatives with an Aromatic Substituent Affecting the Sensitivity of Fluorescence Detection of Mercury(II) Ions
摘要
Abstract
Ethoxy derivatives of pyrrolo[3,4-c]pyridine have been synthesized by dehydroxyalkoxylation of the corresponding hydroxy derivatives on heating in boiling ethanol in the presence of sulfuric acid. The synthesized compounds have been studied as reagents for the fluorometric determination of mercury(II) ions. Leading compounds containing a 4-chloro- or 4-bromophenyl substituent showed Hg(II) detection limits of 0.43×10–6 or 0.92×10–6 M, respectively, these values are comparable with those of existing small molecule-based reagents.
