  • Publication number: 20130210053
    Abstract: The invention provides luminescent solid-state compositions comprising difluoroboron beta-diketonates wherein the compositions can exhibit mechanochromic luminescence. The mechanochromic effect on the luminescence can be reversible, such as thermally reversible. Various solid-state forms of the invention can have emission spectra that differ from the properties of the respective difluoroboron beta-diketonate in solution. The mechanochromic effect can be stimulated by pressure such as hand-writing, and can be reversed over a period of minutes to hours at room temperature. The invention also provides methods of making and methods of using the solid-state compositions, such as for sensors and for information displays for use in biological sensing, and in art, design, and consumer products.

    Abstract: Methods include formation of 4-chloro-2-fluoro-3-substituted-phenylboronic acid pinacol esters. The method comprises contacting a 1-chloro-3-fluoro-2-substituted benzene with an alkyl lithium to form a lithiated 1-chloro-3-fluoro-2-substituted benzene. The lithiated 1-chloro-3-fluoro-2-substituted benzene is contacted with an electrophilic boronic acid derivative to form a 4-chloro-2-fluoro-3-substituted-phenylboronate. The 4-chloro-2-fluoro-3-substituted-phenylboronate is reacted with an aqueous base to form a (4-chloro-2-fluoro-3-substituted-phenyl)trihydroxyborate. The (4-chloro-2-fluoro-3-substituted-phenyl)trihydroxyborate is reacted with an acid to form a 4 chloro-2-fluoro-3-substituted-phenylboronic acid. The 4-chloro-2-fluoro-3-substituted-phenylboronic acid is reacted with 2,3-dimethyl-2,3-butanediol to form 4-chloro-2-fluoro-3-substituted-phenylboronic acid pinacol esters.
