%X The first 4-enamine-N-methyl-1,8-naphthalimides (amine = piperidine, pyrrolidine, morpholine, Prn2NH, Pri2NH) are reported. The X-ray crystal structure of the piperidine derivative confirmed the E-stereochemistry and showed strong &#928;&#8211;&#928; stacking in the unit cell. The enamines are strongly fluorescent and quantum yields do not vary with the pKb of the amine. The solvent dependence of &#955; abs and &#955; flu is consistent with significant charge separation in the excited state.
