New 18 triazine-stilbene fluorescent brighteners containing the phenolic antioxidant have been synthesized. The obtained compounds (7a-i and 8a-i) were characterized by the analysis of proton NMR spectrum and confirmed by UV spectrum. The physical properties of the new compounds were performed by fastness and whiteness measurement and compared with those of C186 and C190. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
