The Synthesis of a New Class of Highly Fluorescent Chromones via an Inverse-Demand Hetero-Diels–Alder Reaction
A new
class of fluorophores has been developed utilizing an inverse-demand
hetero-Diels–Alder reaction with silyl enol ethers and substituted
3-formylchromones. These compounds yield blue to green fluorescence
with quantum yields up to 73%. They also exhibit good potential for
use as fluorescent probes in biological systems, as they are cell
membrane permeable with low cytotoxicity
