Microwave-promoted cyclocondensation of isoflavones with 3-amino[1,2,4]triazole gave
6-phenyl-7-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-1,2,4triazolo[4,3-a]pyrimidines as intermediates. Subsequent photocyclization of these intermediates
delivered dibenzo[f,h][1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-b]quinazolines as final products. Water was the only by-product in this two-step procedure.
The products showed distinct fluorescence properties both in solution and in the solid
state .
Key words
