This work reports the synthesis and successful use of novel benzoxazines as reinforcing resins in polyisoprene rubber compounds. For this purpose, three new dibenzoxazines containing one (4DTP-fa) or two heteroatoms of sulfur (3DPDS-fa and 4DPDS-fa) were synthesized following a Mannich condensation reaction. The structural features of each benzoxazine precursor were characterized by H and C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and Raman.

We describe a fluorogenic ruthenium (II) carbene complex in which the chromophore is directly connected to the metal center. The compound introduces a boron dipyrromethene (BODIPY) moiety into target double bonds by metathesis. Tagging of terminal double bonds is demonstrated on immobilized styrene units on a glass surface.

Cu(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cyclization (CuAAC) is the paradigmatic click reaction of continuous interest. Especially fluorogenic and FRET probes have become indispensable tools for life sciences. Here, we present a fluorescent alkyne for monitoring CuAAC, which undergoes a bathochromic shift upon reaction.
