RT Journal Article T1 Double click macrocyclization with Sondheimer diyne of aza-dipyrrins for B–Free bioorthogonal imaging A1 Wu, Dan A1 Durán Sampedro, Gonzalo A1 Fitzgerald, Sheila A1 Garre, Massimiliano A1 O’Shea, Donal F. AB Sequential azide/diyne cycloadditions proved highly effective for the macrocyclization of a bis-azido aza-dipyrrin. Macrocyclic aza-dipyrrin could be produced in 30 min at rt in water with changes in fluorescence intensity and lifetimes measurable upon reaction. Live cell microscopy showed that aza-dipyrrins were suitable for confocal and STED super-resolution imaging and a bioorthogonal response to macrocyclization could be detected in cellular compartments. These results will encourage a broader examination of the sensing and imaging uses of aza-dipyrrins.
