Photorelease of amino acids from novel thioxobenzo[f]benzopyran ester conjugates
摘要:
Aiming at the enhancement of the performance of (9-methoxy-3-oxo-3-benzo[]benzopyran-1-yl) methyl ester as photocleavable protecting group for the carboxylic acid function at long-wavelengths, 9-methoxy-3-thioxo-3-benzo[]benzopyran--valine and -phenylalanine model conjugates were prepared through a thionation reaction of the corresponding oxo-benzobenzopyrans. These thioxobenzobenzopyran derivatives were subjected to photocleavage reactions in the same conditions as the parent oxo-benzobenzopyrans at different wavelengths of irradiation, and photocleavage data were obtained. It was found that the exchange of the carbonyl by a thiocarbonyl group enhanced the performance of the heterocyclic protecting group at 419 nm by improving the photolysis rates, making it an appropriate group for practical applications at long wavelengths.

phenylalanine as model bifunctional molecules were synthesised to assess its applicability as a photocleavable protecting group for solution phase organic synthesis and in caging applications at longer wavelengths. The behaviour of the corresponding derivatives towards photolysis was evaluated by irradiation at 350 and 419 nm in a mixture of HEPES buffer and acetonitrile or methanol in a photochemical reactor
