Anthracene-9-methanol—a novel fluorescent phototrigger for biomolecular caging
摘要:
Photoexcitation of a solution of anthracene-9-methanol derived esters at similar to 386 nm in CH3CN/H2O (3:2 v/v) results in fluorescence emission in the 380-480 nm range, with quantum yields of fluorescence (Phi(f)) in the 0.01-0.09 range and releases of the carboxylic acids in good chemical yields (43-100%), with quantum yields of photoreaction (Phi(PR), i.e., the photodisappearance of the esters) in the 0.067-0.426 range.
