In solution, proton NMR spectroscopy studies revealed significant upfield shifts for certain thiophene ring protons in the <em>o</em>-disubstituted quinoxaline derivatives compared to their monosubstituted analogs. The upfield shifts resulted from restricted rotation about the thiophene-quinoxaline C–C bonds due to steric congestion leading to some protons being shielded by neighboring aromatic rings. In the solid state, single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies of the <em>o</em>-disubstituted derivatives showed that they exhibit thiophene ring disorder.

To this end, degradable isomeric dendrons featuring aniline-core units for the detection of reactive electrophilic species have been prepared and their reactions studied. A route employing protected phosphorous-borane adducts was key to their synthesis. Following deprotection of these adducts, to activate the self-immolative dendron, alkylation by an electrophilic species and subsequent elimination events, under basic conditions as employed for related molecules incapable of generating an amplified response, were investigated.
