Abstract

Reaction of a commercial preparation of lissamine-rhodamine B sulfonyl chloride with primary amines gives rise to two sulfonamide derivatives, of which one behaves as a pH indicator with maximal fluorescence emission in the acidic range and a pKa of about 4.6. The structure of this derivative and the mechanism of fluorescence dependence on pH, elucidated by means of NMR, is presented.
