Perezone is a naturally occurring hydroxyquinone that has been deeply studied from different chemical aspects, such as therapeutics, electrochemistry, physical-chemical properties, or synthetic approaches that turn it an attractive template for new semisynthetic derivatives with a wide range of purposes. Herein, we describe a facile synthetic pathway to obtain new perezone derivatives by the addition of a pyrrole moiety that can be used for ion recognition. Compounds 2-4 showed the capability to interact with several anions and M2+ cations as separate events that result in colorimetric changes. Moreover, the compounds can behave as heteroditopic receptors. Besides, a previous interaction between fluoride ions and perezone derivatives triggered a successful recognition of M2+ ions, remarking Ni2+ as the most interesting phenomenon. These results project the compounds as potential colorimetric receptors for nickel ions in complex solutions. |
