Chemoselective reaction of methoxyaminomethyl BODIPYs with unprotected carbohydrates: a powerful tool for accessing BODIPY neoglycosides

Abstract

The neoglycosylation of methoxyaminomethyl BODIPYs with unprotected reducing saccharides produces cyclic N-glycosyl-N-methoxy-BODIPY conjugates, which display excellent photophysical characteristics in pure water, even at high dye concentrations.
