The invention relates to a fluorescent probe and in particular relates to a fluorescent probe for detecting
nitrogen monoxide and a preparation method thereof. The probe uses 4-amino-1,8-naphthalimide as a basic molecular structure and carbamided o-phenylenediamine as a compound with
nitrogen monoxide recognition groups. The preparation method comprises the following steps: adding 4-amino-1,8-naphthoic anhydride and an
organic solvent into a container, then adding 2-(2-aminoethoxyl)
ethanol, heating for reaction, and cooling; adding a
saline solution, centrifuging to obtain an intermediate A, then dissolving the intermediate A in
pyridine, and adding
acetic anhydride to react; performing rotary
evaporation, and adding water for extraction; performing rotary
evaporation to separate out an intermediate B; adding the intermediate B, diisopropylethylamine and
toluene into a container to obtain a
mixed solution, then adding the
mixed solution in a solution containing
triphosgene and
toluene, heating for refluxing, and cooling; adding
dichloromethane, carrying out
centrifugal separation to obtain a supernatant, and then adding the supernatant into a solution containing o-phenylenediamine and
dichloromethane to react; performing rotary
evaporation, and adding water for extraction; and
drying the obtained
ethyl acetate, and performing rotary evaporation to separate out the product.
