Abstract
We report a metal-free, efficient, and quick cross dehydrogenative coupling (CDC) methodology using phenyliodine(III) diacetate (PIDA) as an oxidant to synthesize regiospecific α-amino BODIPYs/BOPHYs via C(sp2)-N(sp3) bond formation. Twenty-seven coupled products were synthesized using different primary/secondary amines and commercial drug molecules. The regiospecificity and mechanism of the reactions were confirmed by NMR, EPR, HRMS, and X-ray crystallography studies. One of the synthesized molecules, BODIPY 3t, showed an excellent lysosome targeting ability with turn-on fluorescence inside the lysosome, making it an efficient Lysotracker agent.
期刊介绍:
Organic Letters invites original reports of fundamental research in all branches of the theory and practice of organic, physical organic, organometallic,medicinal, and bioorganic chemistry. Organic Letters provides rapid disclosure of the key elements of significant studies that are of interest to a large portion of the organic community. In selecting manuscripts for publication, the Editors place emphasis on the originality, quality and wide interest of the work. Authors should provide enough background information to place the new disclosure in context and to justify the rapid publication format. Back-to-back Letters will be considered. Full details should be reserved for an Article, which should appear in due course.
