An improved procedure is described for the preparation of pyranoflavylium cations from the reaction of 5,7-dihydroxy-4-methylflavylium cation with aromatic aldehydes. Modifications of the procedure of Chassaing et al. (. , , 6999-7004; , , 3066-3078) circumvent the reported restriction to electron-rich benzaldehydes and provide access to a wide variety of substituted pyranoflavylium cations, including those with electron-withdrawing substituents or an attached heterocyclic or polycyclic aromatic ring. This opens the way for studies of substituent and structural effects on the ground and excited states of these pyranoanthocyanin analogues, the behavior of which should mirror fundamental aspects of the chemistry and photophysics of the pyranoanthocyanin chromophores present in mature red wines.

Pyranoflavylium cations are synthetic analogues of pyranoanthocyanins, the much more color-stable compounds that are formed spontaneously from grape anthocyanins during the maturation of red wines. In the present work, our studies of the photophysical properties of pyranoanthocyanin analogues are extended to include nine pyranoflavylium cations substituted with one or two bromo and/or iodo heavy atoms. The room temperature fluorescence, 77 K fluorescence and phosphorescence, triplet formation in solution, and sensitized singlet oxygen formation, with excited state acidity suppressed by the addition of trifluoroacetic acid, are compared to those of similar pyranoflavylium cations that do not contain a heavy atom.

Biogenic amines (BAs) are biologically active nitrogen-containing compounds formed during the food spoilage process and are often related as key markers of food quality, safety, and freshness. Because their presence in foods at high levels can cause significant health problems, researchers have been focused on developing novel strategies and methods for early detection and capture of these analytes. Herein, water-soluble sulfonated calix[]arene macrocycles (SC4, SC6, and SC8) and a pH-sensitive dye (4'-hydroxy-10-methylpyranoflavylium) were investigated as host-guest systems for BA sensing.

An intense absorption, phosphorescence, a long triplet excited state lifetime and singlet oxygen generation capabilities are characteristics of pyranoflavylium cations, analogues to pyranoanthocyanidins originated in the maturation process of red wine. Such properties make these compounds potential photosensitizers to be applied in photodynamic therapy. In this context, the photophysical processes underlying that treatment critically depend on the electronic structure of the pyranoflavylium molecules.

Natural dyes and pigments offer incomparable diversity of structures and functionalities, making them an excellent source of inspiration for the design and development of synthetic chromophores with a myriad of emerging properties. Formed during maturation of red wines, pyranoanthocyanins are electron-deficient cationic pyranoflavylium dyes with broad absorption in the visible spectral region and pronounced chemical and photostability. Herein, we survey the optical and electrochemical properties of synthetic pyranoflavylium dyes functionalized with different electron-donating and electron-withdrawing groups, which vary their reduction potentials over a range of about 400 mV.

Anionic dendrimers have recently emerged as hosts (H) for the color stabilization of the flavylium cation of anthocyanin guests (G). The interaction with a promising, more hydrophobic pyranoanthocyanin illustrates how the structure and concentration of the dye modulate the host-guest interaction mechanisms. NMR and UV-vis titrations (host over guest, from G/H ratio 2089 to 45) showed that at relatively low dendrimer-to-dye concentrations, ion pairs at the dendrimer periphery prevail over dye encapsulation.
