Abstract

The pyrimidine core is present in a wide variety of compounds that show interesting fluorescent properties and have been used as pigments and dyes. In this research, we synthesized 4-(4-(dimethylamino)phenyl)-6-phenylpyrimidin-2-amine (compound 9) from chalcone (8) with 45% yield. We obtained monocrystals of 9 by slow evaporation of dichloromethane as a solvent. Additionally, we measured the photophysical properties of compound 9, and its absorption wavelength (λabs), molar absorption coefficient (ε), excitation wavelength (λexc) and emission wavelength (λem), as well as Stokes shift (Δλ), increase with increasing solvent polarity. These properties are all related to the stabilization of the excited state by the solvent.
