Abstract

The derivative of bis(styrylisoquinoline) E,E-1 was synthesized for the first time. When irradiated for a short time with the nonfiltered light of a high-pressure mercury lamp, E,E-1 can experience consecutive transformations including photoisomerization to isomer Z,Z-1, photoinduced intramolecular cyclization via the electrocyclic reaction mechanism, and the formation of bis(benzoquinolizinium) derivative due to the oxidation of the electrocyclic reaction product with air oxygen. The study of the bis(polyheteroaromatic) derivative revealed its high affinity with respect to calf thymus DNA. This compound is able to form complexes with DNA due to the intercalation of one or both polyheteroaromatic fragments.
