Four new naphthalene-based boronic acid compounds (1-4) were synthesized. The effect of various carbohydrates on their fluorescence properties has been studied in aqueous phosphate buffer at pH 7.4. Different substitutions on the aniline group of the naphthalene ring resulted in significant differences in fluorescence properties for these four compounds. Compound 1 shows ratiometric fluorescence changes upon addition of a sugar. Compounds 2 and 3 do not show ratiometric fluorescence changes but show very large fluorescence intensity changes (about 70-fold fluorescence intensity increase). In addition to the quantifiable fluorescence property changes upon sugar addition, the fluorescence color changes of 1-3 are also visible to the naked eye. However, amidation of the aniline nitrogen atom significantly diminishes the fluorescence intensity of compound 4. The crystal structure of one boronic acid provided some insight into the structural features that are important for the fluorescence properties of these compounds.
