A new design for fluorescence probes of esterase activity that features a carboxylate‐side pro‐fluorophore is demonstrated with boron dipyrromethene (BODIPY)‐based probes 1 a and 1 b. Because the design relies on the enzyme‐catalyzed hydrolysis of an ester group that is not electronically activated, these probes exhibit a stability to background hydrolysis that is far superior to classical alcohol‐side
