RT Journal Article T1 FormylBODIPYs by PCC-Promoted Selective Oxidation of α-MethylBODIPYs. Synthetic Versatility and Applications A1 Ramos Torres, Ágata A1 Avellanal Zaballa, Edurne A1 Prieto Castañeda, Alejandro A1 García Garrido, Fernando A1 Bañuelos Prieto, Jorge A1 Rodríguez Agarrabeitia, Antonia A1 Ortiz García, María Josefa AB An efficient synthesis of formylBODIPYs has been established based on an oxidation with PCC of 3-methylBODIPYs. It has been demonstrated that this reagent can oxidize methyl groups at such position of the BODIPY core, regardless of its substitution pattern. Moreover, through this procedure it is possible to synthesize 8-aryl-3,5-diformylBODIPYs, which are otherwise difficult to obtain. These precursors have been functionalized to develop fluorescent sensors of amino acids or photosensitizers for singlet oxygen generation.
