ABSTRACT
This work reports the functionalization of pyranoflavyliums pigment using 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride coupling chemistry. Four cinnamic acids were used to establish an ester bond with the hydroxyl group of the pyranoflavylium, namely 4-dimethylamino-, 4-amino-, 4-bromo-, and trans-cinnamic acids. The experimental condition, namely the molar ratios, solvent, and reaction time, were adjusted to obtain higher reaction yields in a reduced period. Excellent reaction yields of 68%, 85%, 94%, and 99% were achieved for 4-amino, trans-, 4-bromo, and 4-dimethylamino pyranoflavylium cinnamates, respectively. The structure of the functionalized pigments was fully clarified using one-dimensional (1H) and two-dimensional (COSY, HSQC, and HMBC) NMR experiments and HRSM analysis. Regardless of the type of functionalization, the UV-Visible spectrum showed a bathochromic shift (red region) on the maximum absorption wavelength and the absence of acid-base reactions throughout a broad pH range in comparison to the pyranoflavylium precursor. This work offers a valuable environmentally friendly, quick, and straightforward alternative to flavylium compounds' challenging and labor-intensive functionalization, resulting in novel dyes with higher stability and dissimilar chromatic features.
