“…The latter chemical served as scavenging agent to remove the generated hydrogen iodide that would undergo side reaction with o -TPP3M. [ 37 ] Using such method, a cyclized product was obtained in a reasonable yield by recrystallization from chloroform/methanol mixture. Its structure was characterized spectroscopically (Figures S10-S13, Supporting Information).…”

A novel mitochondrion-specific live-cell fluorescence turn-on photoactivatable bioprobe, named o-TPP3M, is designed and readily prepared, operating in a new photoactivatable mechanism based on a twisted intramolecular charge-transfer effect, the restriction of intramolecular rotations, and photocyclodehydrogenation. This bioprobe exhibits unique photoactivation behavior, a large signal-to-background ratio, and no cytotoxicity to living cells, providing a promising candidate for varied bioresearch.

Chrysenols are formed together with other metabolites when chrysene is metabolized in living organisms. The principal metabolites are needed as pure compounds for reference materials and standards to study various aspects of this metabolism. In this study the 1-, 2-, 3-, and 4-chrysenols have been made in pure form by photochemical ring closure of [(methoxyphenyl)vinyl]naphthalene to the methoxychrysenes followed by deprotection, and purification of the chrysenols. The method may be applied to make the single pure compounds in high yields.

“…In principle, an unsubstituted system 16 would have four cyclization modes, which can lead to four different condensed benzenoid aromatics; however, the alkoxy groups in 16a, b block three cyclization routes, so that only the route 16a, b→3a, b remains. Iodine served as oxidant and methyloxirane as scavenger for the generated hydrogen iodide [21]. At the stage of the not isolated intermediates 17 and/or 18, photoisomerizations have to be assumed.…”
