Abstract

An approach is demonstrated toward the synthesis of four novel cyclohexenone derivatives (CDs) via a convenient route of Michael addition of ethyl acetoacetate. The molecular structures of CDs were confirmed by means of FT-IR, 1H NMR, EIMS, UV and also by X-ray single crystal structure analysis. CDs are strongly fluorescent compounds and their fluorescent spectra exhibits intense violet fluorescence. To model the binding to biological membranes the behavior of CDs in micellar solutions of a cationic surfactant, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and an anionic surfactant, sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS) has also been examined. The characteristics of partition and binding interactions of CDs with CTAB and SDS were investigated by UV-Visible and fluorescence spectroscopic techniques. Higher values of all mentioned interactions in case of CTAB, compared to SDS, indicate that there are greater interactions between the CDs and CTAB than with SDS.
