Synthesis, characterization and fluorescence studies of novel bi-phenyl based acrylate and methacrylate

4-(1E)-3-(biphenyl-4-yl)buta-1,3-dien-1-yl]phenyl prop-2-enoate (ACH) and 4-(1E)-3-(biphenyl-4-yl)buta-1,3-dien-1-yl]phenyl 2-methylprop-2-enoate (MCH) was synthesized from biphenyl in three steps and their structures were confirmed by elemental analysis, IR, NMR (1H, 13C, DEPT135, 1H-1H COSY, 1H-13C HSQC and 1H-13C HMBC) spectroscopic techniques. In this present study, various physicochemical characteristics we demonstrate solubility, color, absorbance and fluorescence property of novel biphenyl based acrylate and methacrylate measured in different solvents like benzene, dichloromethane, tetrahydrofuran, acetonitrile, dimethylsulfoxide and ethanol.
