3-hydroxybutyl umbelliferyl ethers (R)-1 and (S)-1 are fluorogenic substrates for alcohol dehydrogenases. Their oxidation forms ketone 2, which undergoes beta-elimination of umbelliferone under catalysis by bovine serum albumin, leading to a >20-fold fluorescence increase at lambda(em) = 460 +/- 20 nm (lambda(ex) = 360 +/- 20 nm). Enantioselectivity is determined in two separate tests with each enantiomeric substrate. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
