Synthesis and study of the luminescence properties of anhydrides and n-phenylimides of 4-(2-aryl-1,3,4-oxadiazol-5-yl)naphthalic acids

4-(2-Aryl-1,3,4-oxadiazol-5-yl)naphthalic anhydrides were obtained by condensation of 4-chlorocarbonylnaphthalic anhydride with monohydrazides of substituted benzoic acids and subsequent cyclodehydration; the corresponding N-phenylimides were obtained from the 4-(2-aryl-1,3,4-oxadiazol-5-yl)naphthalic anhydrides. The UV and luminescence spectra are presented.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 4, pp. 461–463 April, 1974.
