ESIPT-Capable 4-(2-Hydroxyphenyl)-2-(Pyridin-2-yl)-1<i>H</i>-Imidazoles with Single and Double Proton Transfer: Synthesis, Selective Reduction of the Imidazolic OH Group and Luminescence

ESIPT-Capable 4-(2-Hydroxyphenyl)-2-(Pyridin-2-yl)-1<i>H</i>-Imidazoles with Single and Double Proton Transfer: Synthesis, Selective Reduction of the Imidazolic OH Group and Luminescence

1<i>H</i>-Imidazole derivatives establish one of the iconic classes of ESIPT-capable compounds (ESIPT = excited state intramolecular proton transfer). This work presents the synthesis of 1-hydroxy-4-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-5-methyl-2-(pyridin-2-yl)-1<i>H</i>-imidazole (<b>L&l...
