Abstract
A 2+3 condensation of a wide assortment of Schiff bases, prepared from aromatic aldehydes and primary amines, with methyl 2-(1-ethoxyethylideneamino)acetate allows convenient access to an extensive family of substituted 4-arylideneimidazolin-5-one analogues of the green fluorescent protein (GFP) chromophore.
Key words
4-arylideneimidazolin-5-one - azomethine ylide - Schiff bases - heterocycle - 2+3 cycloaddition

Plöchl (see ref. 5b).
