Fluorescein Analogue Xanthene-9-Carboxylic Acid: A Transition-Metal-Free CO Releasing Molecule Activated by Green Light
摘要:
6-Hydroxy-3-oxo-3H-xanthene-9-carboxylic acid is introduced as the first transition-metal-free carbon monoxide releasing molecule activated by visible light (photoCORM). This water-soluble fluorescein analogue releases carbon monoxide in both water and methanol upon irradiation at 500 nm. When selectively irradiated in the presence of hemoglobin (Hb) under physiological conditions, released CO is quantitatively trapped to form carboxyhemoglobin (COHb). The reaction progress can be accurately monitored by characteristic absorption and emission properties of the reactants and products.
Fluorescein Analogues as Photoremovable Protecting Groups Absorbing at ∼520 nm
摘要:
A new photoremovable protecting group, (6-hydroxy-3-oxo-3H-xanthen-9-yl)methyl (1), with a molar absorption coefficient e of similar to 4 x 10(4) m(-1) cm(-1) at similar to 520 nm for the release of carboxylates or phosphates is reported. Three derivatives of 1 (diethyl phosphate, acetate, and bromide) were isolated as complexes with DDQ and shown to release the ligands with quantum yields <= 2.4% in aqueous solution.
