Abstract
The synthesis of unsymmetrically peri-annulated naphthalene dyes, perimidinium imides (PrIm), is reported. Compared with the symmetrical and popular analogous naphthalenediimide dyes, PrIm showed a red-shifted absorption maximum. The water-soluble dyes showed tunable self-assembly behaviors and optical properties. The dyes retain their photoluminescence properties in water.

- 19 6-Bromo-2-(2-ethylhexyl)-7-nitro-1H-benzo[de]isoquinoline-1,3(2H)-dione (2a) A 100 mL round-bottomed flask was charged with anhydride 1 (450 mg, 1.40 mmol) and EtOH (15 mL). A solution of 2-ethyl-1-hexylamine (181 mg, 1.40 mmol) in EtOH (15 mL) was added dropwise at r.t., and the mixture was stirred at 80 °C for 3 h, then cooled to r.t. The precipitate was collected by filtration and found to consist of analytically pure imide 2a. An additional amount of 2a was collected from the filtrate by treatment with H2O–EtOAc and subsequent chromatographic separation (silica gel, 10% EtOAc–hexane). The imide was obtained as a yellow solid; yield: 410 mg (68%).

MeNH2·HCl (312 mg, 4.61mmol), K2CO3 (1.61 g, 13.8 mmol), and 1,4-dioxane (7 mL) were added, and the tube was then tightly sealed and the mixture was refluxed for 24 h. The mixture was then cooled to r.t., and the reaction was quenched by pouring into H2O (250 mL). The resulting mixture was extracted with EtOAc (3 × 150 mL) and the organic extracts were dried (Na2SO4), filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude mixture was purified by column chromatography (silica gel, DCM) to give a brown–yellow solid; yield: 135 mg (40%).

When the reaction was complete, the resultant precipitate was collected by filtration, washed with Et2O (2 × 10 mL), and dried in vacuo to give a yellow solid; yield: 77.0 mg (72%).
