Abstract
C*-BODIPYs, that is, boron dipyrromethenes (BODIPYs) which have chiral carbons attached directly to the boron center, are introduced for the first time. These novel chiral BODIPYs mean a new strategy for the chiral perturbation of the inherently achiral BODIPY chromophore that is directed to enable chiroptical properties. Their preparation is very simple and only implies the complexation of a dipyrrin with an enantiopure dialkylborane having boron bonded to chiral carbons.
