Abstract

The diverse reactivity of highly electron-deficient 8-oxo-8H-acenaphtho[1, 2-b]pyrrol-9-carbonitrile 1 is attractive for the preparation of derivatives bearing different substituents via SNArH reaction with N, O, S nucleophiles. These derivatives were versatile, possessing potential antitumor activities and displaying tunable fluorescence spectral behavior.
