Abstract

Novel aminobenzopyranoxanthene spiroethers (ABPX-SEs) based on the spirocyclization of the hydroxymethyl group were synthesized from ABPX spirolactones (ABPX-SLs). The addition of an acid induces a ring-opening reaction to yield two colored monocationic and dicationic spiro-ring species of ABPX. The acid-stimulus responsiveness of the ABPX-SEs is lower than that of ABPX-SLs in polar organic solvents. In addition, the ABPX-SEs exhibit stepwise structural changes of the three equilibrium species at acidic pH, although rapid conversion from the spirolactone to dicationic species occurs in the case of ABPX-SLs.
