Three-primary colors and opposite turn-on or turn-off fluorescent responses to CO were achieved by regulating the conjugation system of fluorophores and the position of fluorescent recognition group. The change of fluorescence response and sensing mechanism for CO detection was studied by theory calculation and mass spectrometry analysis. All the B/G/R-NIA possessed high sensitivity for CO detection. Notably, the R-NIA emerged with a noticeable NIR fluorescence response to CO with a low detection limit (0.61 µM) and high selectivity and relative pH stability. In addition, the R-NIA showed particularly low cytotoxicity and has been successfully used to detect CO in living cells. These studies provided the theoretical reference and technical route to synthesize fluorescent probes with different emission wavelengths and opposite fluorescent responses to CO for various application scenarios.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":438,"journal":{"name":"Tetrahedron Letters","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-11-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142586186","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Alkyl AMP esters have emerged as potent inhibitors of ACS. Previous methods for synthesizing these esters often involved water-based reactions or necessitate purification through reverse phase prep-HPLC or ion-exchange chromatography. To address these challenges, we developed a new approach utilizing 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC·HCl) to couple 5′-adenylic acid to the corresponding alcohol, utilizing triethylamine as the base. This method yielded primary, secondary, unsaturated, and cyclic alcohols in excellent yields.
