Abstract Eight novel analogs(5a~5h) of fluorescent protein chromophore were designed and synthesized by condensation between aromatic aldehydes and imidazolinone, which were obtained by acetylation, substitution and Wittiong reaction, starting from N-methylacetamide or N-methylbenzamide. The structures were characterized by 1H NMR and 13C NMR. The optical study showed that the fluorescent emission wavelengths of most compounds were red-shifted compared with p-hydroxybenzylideneimidazolinone. The emission wavelength of (Z)-4-(2-hydroxy-5-nitrobenzylidene)-1-methyl-2-phenyl-1H-imidazol-5(4H)-one (5f) was 614 nm.
