Compounds and methods are disclosed that are useful for noninvasive imaging in the near-infrared (NIR) spectral range. The NIR is highly sensitive for tumor detection and tracking. The application discloses targeting a tumor-enriched cell surface receptor with a ligand-conjugated fluorescent probe, which specifically allows detection of the tumor relative to the negligible animal autofluorescence.

phenyl-substituted heptamethinecyaninedyes were prepared by a modified Suzuki−Miyaura method in good yields. In addition, direct Suzuki coupling of Vilsmeier−Haack reagent extends the procedure to the synthesis of otherwise difficult cyaninedyes containing multiple heteroatoms in the indolium ring. The new compounds possess excellent spectral properties and can be used to label bioactive molecules
